Where to stay in Portugalete
Portugalete is a small town, so staying central puts you within easy walking distance of the market and the famous Vizcaya Bridge. Look for accommodation in Town Centre or just across the water in Las Arenas, which is well connected by the bridge and ferry.
If you'd prefer more options, the nearby city of Bilbao is just a short Metro ride away and has plenty of hotels to suit every budget, making it a practical base for a day trip to the market.
