Markets in Santurtzi
3 markets tracked in Santurtzi.
Santurtzi has three markets serving this fishing town on the Nervión estuary in Biscay. The two covered municipal markets focus on fresh food, with fish from the local port a particular draw, while the weekly street market handles clothing and accessories. Visitors looking for local farmers market hours should note that both municipal markets run on a weekly schedule, with the street market also operating once a week outdoors.

Where to stay in Santurtzi
Santurtzi is a compact port town, so you won't need to travel far to reach its markets from most accommodation. Staying near Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main market spots and the seafront.
If you prefer a bit more comfort and easy transport links, the nearby city of Bilbao is just a short metro ride away and offers a wider choice of hotels, including Bilbao City Centre. It's a practical base if you want to combine a market visit to Santurtzi with everything Bilbao has to offer.

Street markets in Santurtzi
Santurtzi Street Market is an outdoor market running once a week. The stall count has not been confirmed, but the market focuses on clothing, footwear, and jewellery rather than food, so it complements rather than overlaps with the municipal markets.
Municipal & farmers markets in Santurtzi
Kabiezes Market is the larger of the two, with 25 indoor stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. It is the best starting point for picking up Santurtzi's famous sardines, landed at the fishing port nearby.
Mamariga Market Plaza runs 15 indoor stalls and covers a slightly different mix, including bread and pastries alongside vegetables, meat, fish, and cheese. Between the two markets there are around 40 stalls under cover, making Santurtzi a solid stop for fresh Basque produce. For more covered markets in the area, Bilbao and Portugalete both have well-established municipal options worth combining with a visit here.

Visiting Santurtzi
Santurtzi is straightforward to reach from Bilbao by metro on Line 1. The Visit Santurtzi tourism site has information on local attractions including the Puente Bizkaia transporter bridge and Mount Serantes viewpoint, both worth combining with a market visit.
What day is the market in Santurtzi?
Tuesday is the busiest day for markets in Santurtzi, with all three of the town's markets trading, matched only by Friday. Kabiezes Market and Mamariga Market Plaza both keep their usual weekly hours, and Santurtzi Street Market sets up alongside them, so a Tuesday visit covers the widest spread of stalls in one trip.
Are any of Santurtzi's markets open on Sundays?
No, none of Santurtzi's three markets trade on a Sunday. Kabiezes Market, Mamariga Market Plaza and Santurtzi Street Market all keep to weekday and Saturday schedules, so anyone planning a Sunday stop should look instead to nearby Bilbao or Portugalete for a market that day.
What time do markets in Santurtzi open?
Santurtzi's markets most commonly open at 9am and close at 2pm, the pattern followed by Kabiezes Market and Mamariga Market Plaza on their trading days. Santurtzi Street Market keeps to a similar weekday morning slot, so arriving before midday gives the best chance of full stalls at any of the three.
Which is the biggest market in Santurtzi?
Kabiezes Market is the biggest in Santurtzi, with 25 indoor stalls under cover, more than Mamariga Market Plaza's 15. It's the better starting point for the town's fresh fish and seafood counters, including the sardines landed at the nearby port, with cheese, dairy, meat and poultry stalls filling out the rest of the hall.
