Where to stay in Gallarta
Gallarta is a small mining town, so accommodation options are limited locally. Your best bet is to stay in nearby Bilbao, where you'll find plenty of hotels to suit every budget, and travel in by car or public transport. Bilbao City Centre is a solid base, or look at options in the Abanto-Zierbena municipality if you want to stay closer to the action.
For something more comfortable and convenient, Gran Vía puts you well-connected to the surrounding towns and gives you easy access to Gallarta without missing out on Bilbao's restaurant and bar scene in the evenings.

Gallarta Street Market opens at 8am each Thursday and packs up at 3pm. Coming before midday gives you all 15 stalls rather than the tail end of the day. Cash is the main payment method here, so draw some out in Bilbao or Portugalete before you travel in.
What can you buy at the market in Gallarta?
Clothing, footwear and handicrafts are what the 15 stalls at Gallarta's Thursday street market sell. It is a general goods market rather than a food one, so plan a food shop elsewhere. The pitches are outdoors on Doctor Areilza Etxetaldea and the site is wheelchair accessible.
