Tolosa Market

Almost8centuriesofhistory

Tolosa Market has been taking place every Saturday for over seven centuries. The Navarre, Castile and France roads would meet in Tolosa, making it a commercial centre. Since 1256 it has a strong social and cultural impact: a market day is a very active day: shopping, walking, bar crawling… It’s a full Saturday activity.
