Les Halles de Biarritz is the city's central covered market, a bustling hub of local commerce and gastronomy. Housed in a modern building with a striking glass roof, the market is filled with stalls selling fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses, cured meats, and an abundance of seafood from the Bay of Biscay. Basque specialties like piperade, Bayonne ham, and Ossau-Iraty cheese are highlights. The atmosphere is lively, with vendors calling out their wares and locals doing their daily shopping. On the upper level, you'll find small eateries serving tapas, oysters, and pintxos, making it a great spot for a casual meal. The market is especially vibrant on weekends.
