Orio runs three weekly outdoor street markets, selling clothing, handicrafts, footwear and books between them. Two trade on Thursday and one on Sunday, and the usual hours are 8am to 2.30pm.
The town sits where the Oria river meets the Cantabrian Sea, about 20 kilometres west of San Sebastián, and is better known for its rowing clubs and grilled fish than for shopping. For the wider picture, see the Gipuzkoa province page. Official local information is on the Orio tourism website.

Where to stay in Orio
Orio is a small fishing village, so accommodation options are limited, but staying in the town centre puts you within easy walking distance of everything. Town Centre is your best bet for a short stay, with a handful of guesthouses and rural hotels close to the harbour and market area.
If you prefer more choice, the nearby towns of Zarautz and Getaria are just a few minutes away by car and offer more places to sleep. Zarautz makes a practical base, with good transport links back to Orio so you can visit the markets without any hassle.

Street markets in Orio
All three of Orio's markets trade outdoors, on the street. The largest is the Orio Craft and Creators Market, with 30 stalls given over entirely to handicrafts, and it is the one to plan around if handmade work is what you came for.
The rest of the trade is clothing, footwear and books from a smaller run of stalls. Traders set up from 8am and most have packed away by 2.30pm, so this is a morning errand rather than an afternoon one.

Market days in Orio
Thursday is the busiest day, with two of the three markets trading. The third runs on Sunday. Nothing sets up on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, so a visit built around the markets wants to be a Thursday morning, with Sunday as the fallback.
What day is the market in Orio?
Thursday is the main market day in Orio, when two of the town's three street markets trade. The third runs on Sunday, and nothing sets up on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. All three are weekly, so the same pattern repeats through the year.
What time do the markets in Orio open?
Markets in Orio open at 8am and pack up at around 2.30pm, the usual hours across all three of the town's street markets. Nothing here runs into the afternoon, so treat a market visit as a morning errand and allow time before the 2.30pm finish.
How many markets are there in Orio?

Are there markets in Orio on a Sunday?
Yes, one of Orio's three street markets trades on Sunday, from 8am to around 2.30pm. It is the quieter of the town's two market days, since Thursday carries the other two. Anyone in Orio for a weekend has that single Sunday morning to work with.
