Where to stay in Leioa
Leioa is a compact town just outside Bilbao, so staying in Leioa Town Centre puts you close to the local markets without much fuss. Many visitors also choose to base themselves in nearby Bilbao and make the short metro ride over, which gives you far more hotel options and a livelier evening scene.
If you want to stay local, look for accommodation around Ibaeta or along the main university district, where you'll find smaller guesthouses and easy access to everything on foot.

Street markets in Leioa
The Umore Azoka, officially the Street Artists Fair of Leioa, runs Thursday to Sunday, with stalls open from around 9am to 2pm each day. It is one of the few markets in the province focused exclusively on handicrafts rather than food or general goods, making it a practical stop for anyone looking for artisan work. The fair takes place outdoors, so checking local conditions before visiting is worthwhile. The municipality of Leioa publishes event updates through the Leioa town hall website, where current schedules are confirmed.
