Abando de Labayru Market
Indoor neighbourhood market in Bilbao's Errekalde district with 25 stalls. Open Monday to Saturday from 8am, selling fresh fish, meat, fruit and dairy.
Abando de Labayru Market is a covered municipal market in Bilbao's Errekalde district, located at Labayru Kalea 8 with additional entrances from Iparraguirre 66 and Ávila 1. The market has been running since 1966 and houses 25 stalls across 800 square metres of retail space. It's open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 2pm and closed on Sundays.
What to buy
The stalls cover the full range of daily shopping: fresh fish and seafood, meat and poultry, seasonal fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, and freshly baked bread. Quality is the draw here. This is a neighbourhood market where regulars know their suppliers by name, and you'll find Basque staples like Idiazabal cheese alongside the fish counter. It's one of several municipal markets in Bilbao, though smaller in scale than La Ribera Market across town.
