 | Bilbao Shopping | Tips 1 - 10 of 18 |  |
There are shops in every district in Bilbao, but these 2 are specially "shopping-targets".
In the part of Gran Via between Plaza Moyua and Plaza Circular you will find all those big chains one after the other: Promod, Zara, Mango... as well as El Corte Ingles.
The Casco Viejo has always been a shopping area - most of its streets still carry the names of shops: Sombrerería (Hats shop), Lotería. Nowadays it still houses many "independent" traditional shops, as well as many other chains. Lots of shoe shops also.

The market by the river in the Casco Viejo is one of the largest in Europe. It is an excellent introduction to the fish and meat (and veg. and cheese) in the Basque country. Not for the squeamish though!
Open only in the mornings. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

The centre of BIlbao has a number of supermarkets. The most common of which are Ecorea. These are small supermarkets with limited range, and are quite expensive.
Slightly larger but less common are Consum-Eroski, who are cheaper. There is an Eroski under Plaza Indautxu
At Plaza Zabalburu there is a big Champion (part of Carrefour) and in the large Corte Ingles on Gran Via / Urquijo there is a supermarket on the 6th floor that has high quality foods at a high price.
Ecorea - good for bits and pieces
Consum - eroski - good for meat
Champion - broad range of everything
Corte Ingles - Often has things that you miss from home Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Sombrerería Gorostiaga, one of these family-run specialty stores, is the oldest shop in Bilbao. It has been selling hats and all kinds of ornaments for the head for more than 150 years (it opened in 1857). His owner, Emilio Pirla, is the fourth generation of hat-makers and runs the business with professionalism, know-how, service quality and a great passion for the art of hat-making.
The shop is very small and cramped with piles of hats and berets. It is what Spaniards call a tienda de toda la vida, that is, a traditional business which seems to have existed forever and which has not been affected by time.
All kinds of hats and headdresses, industrial or bespoke, but the speciality are the traditional Basque berets (txapelas), still worn by the older generations of Basques, and very fashionable lately among global trendy people. In Sombrerería Gorostiaga, you can find them in all the imaginable sizes and colours. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Calle Víctor, in the Old Town.
