Markets in Zarautz
Gipuzkoa, Basque Country
The Zarautz market scene is built around three weekly outdoor markets, each with a distinct focus. You can pick up handmade crafts at a medieval-themed fair, load up on organic vegetables and local cheese, or browse clothing and footwear stalls depending on which day you visit. Zarautz sits in the heart of Gipuzkoa, and the markets reflect the area's strong tradition of local production and artisan trade.

Staying in Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the market areas and the long sandy beach. The town is compact, so you won't need a car to get around once you're here.
For a comfortable base, Hotel Zarautz is a solid central option, and Beachfront has several smaller guesthouses and hotels if you want to wake up close to the water. Book early in summer, as this is a popular surf town and places fill up fast.

Street markets in Zarautz
The Medieval Fair Zarautz is the largest of the three markets, with 90 stalls spread across an outdoor setting. The focus here is on handicrafts and clothing, and the medieval theme gives it a character that sets it apart from a standard weekly market.
The Zarautz Ecological Market runs weekly and specialises in organic and locally sourced food. Stalls carry fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, cheese and dairy products, and bread and pastries, making it a reliable stop for anyone after quality produce rather than just convenience shopping.
The Zarautz Monthly Market rounds out the offer with a focus on clothing and footwear. Despite the name, it also runs on a weekly schedule, so visitors have a regular opportunity to browse.
For context on other markets across the province, the Gipuzkoa markets page covers the wider region. If you are also visiting the coast nearby, Donostia-San Sebastián and Getaria both have their own market options worth checking. The Zarautz town council publishes local event and market information at zarautz.eus.
