Discover the bustling Mercado de la Ribera, positioned along the river, with stalls brimming with local produce and pintxos that burst with flavor. Each corner of this Old Town district unveils a new culinary delight. From the elegant Café Iruña on Calle Colón de Larreátegui to the inventive pintxos at Gure Toki in Plaza Nueva, these stops offer more than just a meal, they tell a story.
