Bilbao Markets

The Riverside Market sells food in the Old Quarter on Ribera Street, surrounded by monuments. The Conde de Mirasol pedestrian street and San Antón bridge lead in to the market. It is a very modern building which has an Art Deco style façade and resembles a factory inside. It has three floors and 186 shops were you can buy fish on the ground floor, meat on the first floor and fruit and vegetables on the top level.

Ensanche Market is located in the centre of the square it has been named after between Colón de Larreategui and Henao streets (near to Gran Via). It was built in the 19th century and has become the most important market in downtown Bilbao with 10 stalls selling fabulously fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and fish.

If you are planning to explore the area outside of the city centre and play some golf or go to some of the more out of the way beaches then you might consider hiring a car. There are a number of car hire firms based at Bilbao Airport who will be pleased to have a vehicle awaiting your arrival. This also cuts down on transfer costs for you and your family.
