About Mamariga Market Plaza

This is a working neighbourhood market rather than a tourist attraction, where residents pick up the week's shopping from stall holders they know by name. Everything is under cover on Mamariga Kalea, and Santurtzi's fishing heritage shows in the fish counters.

What to buy at Mamariga Market Plaza

The 15 stalls cover everyday food shopping: fish and seafood, meat and poultry, fresh vegetables and fruit, cheese and dairy, and bread. Fish and seafood is the counter to head for in a fishing port like Santurtzi. Stalls take both cash and credit cards.

Where to stay in Santurtzi

Santurtzi is a compact port town, so staying central puts you within walking distance of the market. Santurtzi Town Centre is your best bet, close to both the market and the waterfront. For a wider choice, Bilbao is a short metro ride away, and Hotel Silken Indautxu and Casco Viejo are both well placed for hopping back out to Santurtzi in the morning.
