Markets in Orio
Gipuzkoa, Basque Country
The bazar Orio searches that land on this page reflect genuine curiosity about what's on offer in this small Basque fishing town. Orio runs three weekly outdoor street markets, together offering around 55 stalls or more selling clothing, handicrafts, footwear and books across the week.
Orio sits where the Oria river meets the Cantabrian Sea, about 20 kilometres west of San Sebastián. The town is better known for its rowing clubs and grilled fish than for shopping, but its three weekly markets give locals and visitors a practical reason to browse. For wider context on markets across the territory, see the Gipuzkoa province page. Official local information is available 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.

The Orio Craft and Creators Market is the largest of the three, with 30 outdoor stalls dedicated entirely to handicrafts. It runs weekly and is the best option if handmade goods are your priority.
The Orio Street Market offers 25 stalls with a broader mix of clothing, handicrafts and books, also running weekly outdoors. It is a good all-round market for browsing local produce alongside creative goods.
The Orio Thursday Market rounds out the week with an outdoor street format focused on clothing and footwear. The exact stall count is not confirmed, but the Thursday slot makes it easy to combine with a visit to nearby Zarautz, which also has regular market activity along the coast.
