Where to stay in Azpeitia
Azpeitia is a small town, so your best bet is staying close to the centre, where you can walk to the market square and the main streets with ease. Town Centre puts you right in the heart of things and keeps everything on foot.
If you prefer a bit more comfort or flexibility, the nearby town of Zumarraga is just a short drive away and has more accommodation options. You could also look at staying in Loyola, near the famous sanctuary, which sits just outside the town centre and is well connected to the market area.

Street markets in Azpeitia
The Azpeitia Weekly Market is a reliable weekly fixture for everyday shopping, selling fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, organic produce, and prepared foods, making it the most practical stop for visitors wanting a broad selection in one place.
Asteklima Azoka adds an eco-conscious dimension to the local market scene, combining organic produce with fresh fruit, vegetables, and handicrafts. It is a good choice if you are looking for artisan goods alongside your food shopping.
Azpeitia Azoka Plaza focuses specifically on fresh and organic produce, offering fruit, vegetables, and eco-certified goods in an outdoor setting. The plaza format gives it a relaxed atmosphere suited to a leisurely morning browse.
Azpeitia Stock Azoka takes a different direction entirely, concentrating on clothing and footwear rather than food, and running weekly for those after good-value fashion finds. The two seasonal Christmas markets, Azpeitia Christmas Market and Azpeitia Christmas Creators Market, shift the focus to handicrafts and festive goods and are worth checking if you visit during the holiday period.

Planning your visit
All six markets are held outdoors, so checking local weather before you go is worthwhile, particularly in the Basque Country's wetter months. For official local information, the Azpeitia municipality website is the best source for current schedules and any changes to market days.
