Bacalao Mercado de Gros

Fish and seafood take centre stage, with fresh catches available daily and salted cod well suited to traditional Basque dishes like bacalao al pil pil. Alongside the seafood, you'll find stalls selling seasonal vegetables sourced from nearby farmsteads, fresh fruit, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread and pastries. The market accepts cash, cards, and contactless payments, so you won't need to come with exact change.

The Mercado de Gros sits in the Gros neighbourhood, so staying nearby puts you right in the middle of it. Gros is a great base, with the market, the beach, and plenty of pintxos bars all within walking distance. The Hotel Zenit San Sebastián is a solid, well-located option in this part of town.

If you'd rather be closer to the Old Town and the main shopping streets, Centro / Parte Vieja is an easy walk to Gros across the Zurriola Bridge, and gives you more options for evenings out.

The market is at Nafarroa Beherea Plaza, 1, in the Gros district, set into the ground floor of a residential building. Look for "AZOKA" written at the entrance if you're having trouble locating it. Local buses serve the area with stops a short walk away, and it's also reachable on foot from the old town. Street parking is available nearby but fills quickly during morning shopping hours.
