Where to stay in Legazpi
Legazpi is a small industrial town in the Urola valley, so accommodation options are limited. Staying in Town Centre puts you close to everything on foot, and there are a handful of rural guesthouses in the surrounding area if you prefer a quieter base.
If you want more choice, the nearby towns of Zumarraga and Beasain are just a short drive away and offer easier access to a broader range of places to stay, making them a practical alternative for exploring the markets here.
Tours & Activities in Legazpi
Street markets in Legazpi
The Cattle Fair is Legazpi's most traditional market, focused on meat and poultry sold directly by local producers. It runs weekly outdoors and reflects the area's long-standing agricultural identity, making it a practical stop for fresh produce.
The Medieval Fair takes a different direction, offering handicrafts and prepared foods in a weekly outdoor setting that tends to attract makers and food vendors alongside curious visitors. If you're looking for locally made goods or something ready to eat on the day, this is the market to prioritise. Nearby Zumarraga and Urretxu also hold regular markets if you want to combine visits in the area.
Planning your visit
Both markets are held outdoors, so checking local conditions before you go is worthwhile. The Legazpi town council website is the most reliable source for current dates and any schedule changes throughout the year.
