Where to stay in Bermeo
Bermeo is a small fishing town, so accommodation options are limited but well-placed. Staying in the Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the harbour and the fish market itself.
If you want a bit more comfort, look for guesthouses and small hotels along the waterfront, such as Harbour Area, where you can roll out of bed and be at the Arrain Azoka in minutes. Booking early is a good idea, especially on market days when the town draws visitors from across the Basque Country.
