Domingo Alegría Plaza Market
Weekly Monday market with around 15 stalls selling fresh local produce from the Busturialdea region.
Domingo Alegría Plaza Market is a weekly Monday market in Gernika-Lumo, Biscay. Around 15 stalls set up every Monday from 9am to 1:30pm, selling fresh produce grown on local farms in the Busturialdea region. The market follows the "Baserritik Plazara" principle, meaning only growers with their own land can sell here. Both cash and card payments are accepted. Get there early for the best selection, as stalls start packing up after midday.
The current market building dates from 1991, but the tradition of a Monday market in Gernika goes back to 1366 when the town's founding charter granted permission for a weekly market. It's one of the longest-running street markets in Gernika-Lumo.
What you'll find
Stalls focus on seasonal farm produce. In winter, expect squashes, leeks, and peppers. Summer brings the famous Gernika green peppers and tomatoes. You'll also find meat, fish, seafood, bread, and homemade pastries. Everything is locally grown or produced.
