San Mames, Bilbao

The stadium quarter west of Indautxu around Athletic Bilbao's San Mames, with match-day bocadillo counters, the Mercado de San Mames and weekend football crowds.

San Mames is Bilbao's stadium quarter, west of Indautxu around Athletic Club's ground. Match days set the rhythm: bocadillo counters, the Mercado de San Mames and football crowds moving between them. On a fixture weekend it is the most Bilbaino eating experience in the city.

The full San Mames food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Bilbao food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
