Generally, small shops open from 9am to 1pm and again from 4pm to 8pm. These are scattered around town, but are concentrated chiefly in C/ Luna, a pedestrian street leading off the square.

There are two supermarkets with a five-minute walk.

The cheaper and more basic of the two is Aprop, while Bip is a little more stylish. Open Mon-Sat till 8.30pm (open at lunch), and on Sundays till 1pm.

The biggest supermarket in town is Eroski, a 10-15 minute walk. It’s better stocked and slightly cheaper. Open Mon-Sat till 8.30pm (open at lunch), and on Sundays till 1pm.

There is also a covered market for fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. Best to go in the mornings.

Just 30 seconds from the house, by the tram tracks, is a small bakery, open from very early morning till 8.30pm, which stocks essentials including wine and beer.

Finally, Saturday is market day (till 2pm), with food and clothes stalls lining all the streets around the square
