Abando de Labayru Market

Abando de Labayru Market has served Bilbao's Errekalde neighborhood since opening on May 12, 1966. The market operates daily from 8am to 8:40pm Monday through Saturday, giving convenient access for working residents.

Fifteen vendor stalls occupy the 800 square meter commercial space within the 2,264 square meter building. You'll find fresh fish and seafood, meats and charcuterie, fruits and vegetables, bread from the bakery, and even a specialized Italian gastronomy stall.

The market underwent complete renovation in 2008 with city council support. This modernized the facilities while maintaining its neighborhood market character and personal customer service.

Several stalls have operated continuously since the market's opening over 50 years ago. The vendor mix attracts a diverse clientele from elderly longtime residents to younger families moving into the regenerated area.

The market sits at the intersection of Amézola and Indautxu neighborhoods with entrances at Calle Labayru 8, Iparraguirre 66, and Ávila 1. Early morning hours typically see the heaviest shopping activity when locals select fresh ingredients for the day.

The market has three entrance points at Calle Labayru 8, Iparraguirre 66, and Ávila 1 in the Errekalde neighborhood. Several bus routes serve the area with connections to central Bilbao.

Street parking is available on surrounding streets though spaces fill quickly during morning shopping hours. The location has good access to metro stations linking to other parts of the city.
