Irun Second-Hand Market

Irun Second-Hand Market (Mercado de Segunda Mano Igandero, or Merka2dasoa) sets up every Sunday from 10:30am to 2:30pm on Paseo Colón and Plaza del Ensanche, in central Irun. Twelve stalls sell pre-owned clothing, textiles and books, which makes it a browse rather than a morning out, and one of the smaller street markets in Irun.

What you'll find at Irun Second-Hand Market

Clothing and textiles take up most of the twelve stalls, so this is the market for vintage pieces and everyday wear at second-hand prices. The rest is books and magazines. Stock is whatever traders have brought that week, which is the reason regulars come back on a Sunday they were not planning to. No payment options are listed for the market, so carry cash.

How to get to Irun Second-Hand Market

The market sets up on Paseo Colón and Plaza del Ensanche, both in the centre of town and walkable from Irun's train and bus stations. Irun town hall keeps the dates on its official page, worth a check before a trip.

Where to stay in Irun

Irun is a compact border town, so staying central puts you within easy reach of the market and the rest of the action. Town Centre is your best bet, with a handful of solid hotels and good transport links. The Hotel Lizaso is a reliable, well-located option worth checking out, and arriving by rail, the streets around Irun Train Station keep you close to the Sunday stalls.

If you fancy a short hop across the border, San Sebastián is just 20 minutes away and offers more choice for accommodation. Staying in San Sebastián City Centre means you can combine the Irun market with one of Spain's best food cities, which is never a bad idea.
