The town of Ordizia, belonging to the comarca of Goierri, exemplifies the gastronomy of Gipuzkoa. The most important farmers’ market in the province is held every Wednesday in the Plaza Mayor. This display of the region’s typical homegrown products is also one of the most important of its kind in all of the Basque Country, given that it is where produce prices are set for the entire autonomous community.
Ordizia is also home to the D’elikatuz Center, an interesting gastronomical interpretation center conceived as a space dedicated to food and health which holds tastings, classes, exhibits, and other activities. It’s likely that whatever you end up eating will be related to traditional Basque cuisine and will showcase the area’s seafood, meat, and produce.
Some of the region’s most renowned products are also common in Ordizia, especially Idiazabal cheese, handcrafted cider, and Txakoli de Getaria, one of the most popular Basque wines. If you’re looking for the right occasion to discover all that there is to eat in Ordizia, the Aurresku (dance) of the Santaneros festival, starring newlywed couples, can provide the perfect opportunity.
