Municipal Markets in the Province of Biscay Province

Biscay Province has a long-standing tradition of municipal markets that connect its fishing ports, rural areas and urban centres.

In Bilbao, the Ribera Market stands as the province’s most emblematic hall, renowned for its iron structure and wide variety of seafood, vegetables and local produce.

Many towns, including Barakaldo, Portugalete and Gernika, maintain their own covered markets that serve as daily shopping points and neighbourhood meeting places.

Across the province, these markets reflect Biscay’s respect for food quality and community life. They remain central spaces where residents buy fresh ingredients and preserve a culture of trust between vendors and customers.
