Markets & Makers

There is a story behind every meal: a hand, a history, a passion.

This section is a tribute to the growers, the handcrafters, and those that define the Basque Country and beyond. In vibrant hometown markets and subdued co-ops, in heritage cheesemakers and women who rediscover ancestral grains, these profiles salute the people who save culture in an evolving world.

We're not merely discussing commerce, we're discussing connection. Craft. Care. Continuity

Walk the market stalls. Step into the pace of Donostia’s docks. Get to know the people who put your harvest on the table. This is about ethical food systems and the people who make them shine.
