Orio Street Market

Orio Street Market sets up every Thursday from 8am to 2pm on Arrantzale Kalea in Orio, a small fishing town on the Gipuzkoa coast. Around 25 stalls line this central street selling clothing, textiles, handicrafts, and books and magazines. Payment is cash only, so bring euros before you arrive.

What you'll find at Orio Street Market

The stalls split between everyday clothing and textiles, handmade crafts, and books and magazines. Nothing fresh is sold here, despite the town's fishing harbour, so this is a market for browsing rather than for the week's shopping. A children's play area beside the stalls makes it practical for families, letting parents work along the street while children keep busy nearby.

Where to stay in Orio
