Carlton Market is a 25-stall indoor food market in the Abando district of Bilbao, open Monday to Friday from 9am to 2:30pm and Saturday from 9am to 2pm (closed Sundays). One of several municipal markets in Bilbao, it serves the surrounding neighbourhood with fresh produce, meat, fish, cheese and prepared foods. The market is wheelchair accessible and accepts cash, credit card, contactless and mobile payments.

What to buy

The 25 stalls cover the daily essentials: fresh fish and seafood, meat and poultry, vegetables, cheese and dairy, bread and baked goods. A few stalls sell prepared foods for a quick bite at lunchtime. Carlton Market is a compact neighbourhood market focused on daily staples rather than specialty goods, so it works best as a practical food stop rather than a destination in its own right.
