VITORIA-GASTEIZ OPEN AIR MARKETS

Several open air markets take place in Vitoria for all the year.  Very popular is the one at Santa Barbara square, just 200 meters away from Ondoloin. It is a fruits, vegetables and handmade sweets market and it is held every thursday and saturday morning. Many stalls sell organic products, but you better ask.
