7 Best Shopping in Pamplona, Bilbao and the Basque Country

Donezar is a beloved confitería (candy shop) and cerería (chandlery) that rang in its 170th anniversary last year. Behind its weather-worn wooden countertops, the store stocks some of the finest artisanal jams in Spain as well as peanut guirlache (brittle), turrón (nougat), yemas (eggy bonbons), and sugar-dusted almond cookies (polvorones). The top-quality candles are made by hand and come in various sizes and neutral tones.  

This well-curated boutique run by young designers is the city's top spot to buy handmade jewelry and accessories, kitchenware, couture garments, and eye-catching stationery.

Owned by a former Camino pilgrim, this small store stocks everything and anything a hiker embarking on the Camino de Santiago could need, from backpacks, boots, hiking socks, and walking sticks to smaller but equally necessary items like blister ointment, rain ponchos, and sporks.

Come here to buy delicacies from across Navarra, including wines, sweets, cured meats, and cheeses, as well as a variety of bull-themed T-shirts and paraphernalia.

This chain is famous for colorful pop-art T-shirt prints with San Fermín and Basque themes. There's another outpost at Mercaderes 19.

Here you can buy La Cafetera toffee, a local café con leche–flavored sweet. The shop also sells Navarran wine and other delicacies.

You can buy botas in most Navarrese towns, but Pamplona's Olentzero gift shop sells the best brand, Las Tres Cetas, written "ZZZ."
