Working food market at the edge of the Parte Vieja, with fish and vegetable stalls.
Mercado de la Bretxa stands at Boulevard Zumardia 3 beside the Parte Vieja. Listings give Monday to Saturday 08:00 to 20:00, but fresh fish and produce stalls are best visited in the morning; one guide suggests before 11:00 for the freshest fish. It is a practical place to buy Idiazabal cheese, cured meats and preserved fish to take home.
