Where to stay in Bermeo
Bermeo is a small fishing town, so staying close to the port area puts you right in the heart of things, within easy walking distance of the market and the old town. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, or look at Port Area if you want to wake up to views of the harbour.
If you prefer a bit more comfort and choice, the nearby town of Mundaka is just a short drive away and worth considering as a base. That said, staying in Bermeo itself means you can explore the market and the local streets at your own pace without needing a car.
Tours & Activities in Bermeo
Street markets in Bermeo
The Arrain Azoka, or Fish Fair, is the most distinctive of Bermeo's two markets. With 30 outdoor stalls running weekly, it focuses on fish and seafood sourced from the local fishing fleet, alongside prepared foods and handicrafts that reflect traditional Basque culture.
The Bermeo Weekly Market is the larger of the two, with 48 stalls selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, clothing, and footwear. It runs outdoors on a weekly basis and serves as the main general market for residents and visitors alike. Shoppers from nearby Gernika-Lumo and Mundaka often make the short trip to combine both markets in a single visit.
Planning your visit
Both of Bermeo's markets are held outdoors, so checking the local weather before visiting is worthwhile, particularly in the cooler months. The town centre is compact and the two markets are easy to reach on foot from the harbour. For official local information, the Bermeo town hall website provides current event schedules and any seasonal changes to market dates.
