Markets in Ezcaray
La Rioja, La Rioja
The mercadillo de Ezcaray is a single weekly outdoor market that draws both locals and visitors to the upper Oja Valley each Saturday morning. Around 25 stalls set up along Calle Calvario from 8:00 AM, selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and flowers and plants. Ezcaray's population can swell well beyond its usual 2,000 residents during summer, and the market reflects that seasonal rhythm. For a broader view of markets across the region, the La Rioja markets guide covers the full provincial picture.
