Overview
- Fairs in Donostia, the Bilbao area and Lasarte-Oria proceeded in persistent rain, with umbrellas common and long lines forming under shelter.
- Reporters recorded talos at €7 near the Arriaga, up €1.50 from 2024, with cider at €6 and txakoli at €11 per bottle, both €1 higher.
- Some staples rose at produce stands, including eggs at €4.50 per dozen and cabbages at €5.20 per kilo, while chestnuts fell to €6.90 and many fruits held steady.
- Vendors described demand shifting toward leeks and cabbages, though some stalls kept pricing similar to last year to highlight quality.
- Cultural features continued despite the weather with animal displays and shortened performances, and Asgicer ran its first Donostia booth to raise cancer awareness.
