Where to stay in Gallarta
Gallarta is a small mining town, so your best bet is to stay in nearby Bilbao, where you'll find plenty of hotels to suit every budget and easy transport links out to the market. Bilbao City Centre is the most convenient base, putting you close to great food and nightlife after your visit.
If you'd prefer something closer, the town of Balmaseda or the coastal area around Castro-Urdiales are both within reasonable driving distance and offer a quieter, more local feel for your stay.
