About Bacalao Mercado de Gros
Bacalao Mercado de Gros operates Monday through Saturday from 8am to 2pm in Plaza Nafarroa Behera. This small neighborhood market has served the Gros district since its inauguration in February 1923.
The market originally opened with 17 stalls and underwent renovation in the mid-1990s. Today, vendors start setting up as early as 6am, with the space becoming particularly busy by 11am when locals do their daily shopping.
Seafood takes center stage here, with vendors like Sergio Palacio selling fresh daily catches and high-quality salted cod perfect for traditional dishes like bacalao al pil pil. The market's boat-shaped central structure reflects its maritime focus.
Local produce comes from nearby caseríos, with vendors like Arantxa Eizagirre selling seasonal vegetables and flowers. Panadería y pastelería Ja sells sourdough bread and their specialty pastry, pantxineta.
Carnicería Chamorro has operated here since the 1970s, maintaining the market's reputation for quality without gourmet prices. The atmosphere remains practical and neighborhood-focused, serving mainly residents from Gros and surrounding areas.
The market's semi-hidden location requires careful attention to find. Space is limited, so avoid lingering in crowded areas during peak morning hours.
