Santurtzi Street Market

Santurtzi Street Market sets up every Tuesday and Friday from 9am to 2pm on Avenida Murrieta Etorbidea in Santurtzi, Biscay, and is packed away again by early afternoon. Known locally as the Mercadillo de Santurtzi, it is a clothing and accessories market rather than a food one, and it is the town's main entry among the street markets in Santurtzi. Bring cash.

What you'll find at Santurtzi Street Market

Clothing and textiles are the bulk of it, with footwear and leather goods on the next run of stalls and jewellery among them. Twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday, the same trading pattern repeats, so a piece you walked past on Tuesday is usually still there on Friday.

What day is Santurtzi Street Market?

Santurtzi Street Market runs every Tuesday and Friday from 9am to 2pm. Both days come round weekly rather than on a rotating monthly pattern, so there is no week in which the market skips its turn. Stalls start clearing towards 2pm, so arrive before 1pm for a full run of them.

Where is Santurtzi Street Market?

Santurtzi Street Market sets up on Avenida Murrieta Etorbidea, at number 42, 48980 Santurtzi, in the province of Biscay.
