Municipal Markets in Azpeitia

Azpeitia, a historic town in Gipuzkoa province, maintains its connection to traditional Basque market culture through its municipal market facilities.

This small town, birthplace of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, has preserved the local custom of centralised food shopping that characterises many Basque communities.

The municipal market serves as a focal point for residents seeking fresh produce, regional specialities, and daily essentials.

Local vendors offer seasonal vegetables from nearby farms, fresh fish from the Cantabrian coast, and traditional Basque products.

The market reflects Azpeitia's role as a service centre for the surrounding rural area, where quality ingredients and personal service remain important aspects of daily life.
