Where to stay in Durango
Durango is a compact town, so staying central puts you within easy walking distance of everything. Town Centre is your best bet, keeping you close to the market square and the old town streets.
If you prefer a bit more comfort, look into Ezkurdi or check availability at Hotel Kurutziaga, which sits conveniently close to the historic core. Either way, you won't need a car to get around once you've arrived.
Tours & Activities in Durango
Municipal markets in Durango
El Mercado is Durango's indoor market hall, operating on a weekly schedule with 25 stalls arranged under one roof. The range covers fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood from the Cantabrian coast, and cheese and dairy. Because it is enclosed and easy to reach on foot from the old quarter, it is a reliable stop in any weather. The Durangaldea tourism office has practical information on parking and access in town.
Street markets in Durango
Durangoko Azoka is the largest street market in Durango, with 285 outdoor stalls running weekly. It specialises in books, handicrafts and prepared foods, making it a markedly different experience from the food-focused indoor hall. The scale means it is worth arriving early to work through the stalls at a comfortable pace.
The Durango Market is a smaller weekly outdoor market focused on fresh fruit, vegetables, organic produce, cheese and dairy, and bread and pastries. It is a good option if you are specifically looking for organic or artisan food products. The Durango Weekly Market rounds out the street offer with a focus on fresh food, including meat and poultry and fish and seafood alongside fruit, vegetables and cheese.
