Where to stay in Sestao
Sestao is a small industrial town on the left bank of the Nervión, and accommodation options here are limited, so most visitors base themselves nearby. Staying in Barakaldo town centre gives you easy metro access to Sestao, or you can look at options in Portugalete, which is just across the river and well connected by the famous Puente Colgante.
If you want to be closer to Bilbao's wider dining and nightlife scene after your market visit, Bilbao city centre is only a short metro ride away on the Euskotren and makes a practical base for exploring the whole left bank area too.
