Places in Spain - Street Markets on the Costa del Sol

 

There are a great number of street markets throughout the Costa del Sol and every one is different. We have selected all those that we have seen and are worthy of a mention. Many markets combine flea markets and boot sales where great bargains can be had. Apart from the usual tourist trappings, good buys within Andalucia include linen, ceramic ware, leather goods and hand-made jewellery.

Locally produced furniture is plentiful and very original. The closeness of Morocco dictates that there are plenty of stalls selling authentic Arabic wares such as pottery, metalwork and leather goods. Antiquities and such like are also to be found.

Marbella Every Monday morning, ground close to the Car sales showroom area (poligono).
Puerto BanusEvery Saturday, market with car boot sale near the bullring, at the top end of the old town. A large affair with a wide range of goods on offer, especially antiques. The stalls spread in all directions. Be prepared for parking problems around the site. Far better to park at the bottom end of the town near the N340 and walk up (10 minutes). Lots of places to eat and drink around the market but becomes very busy at times.
San Pedro AlcantaraEvery Thursday, market in the Divina Pastora District at the top end of the town. Quite a walk from the N340. There is parking near the market but can be a challenge. Reasonable sized market with clothes, shoes, fresh produce and the usual tourist stalls.
Las Chapas Every Friday, market at la Vibora area.
Mijas Costa Every Wednesday & Saturday, street market at La Cala de Mijas.
Estepona Every Wednesday, market in town centre. Large and well organised with a great variety of stalls. Limited parking nearby. Get there early. Nowhere nearby for food and drink, you need to walk into the town towards the sea. Sundays, around the small port. Very tourist orientated but nice on a warm day alongside the water. Parking is very limited and will cost 100ptas in some places. Free near the Don Marino building. Lots of bars around the market to eat and drink - all very English.
Sabinillas Every Sunday, market and car boot sale, alongside the N340 highway. Very large but disorganised. Late starter but bargains galore of every description. Parking is an absolute nightmare and by 10.30am the local police cordon off many of the roads. The N340 becomes a death-trap. Try parking in the Supersol car park or along the sea front and walking 500m. Good Moroccan and Indian items plentiful. Nearby bars become packed very quickly. Every Friday, in the town, small local market.
LaLinea Every Wednesday, market close to the Gibraltar border. Massive and well organised. Every kind of bargain imaginable. Plenty free parking nearby. Few places for refreshments nearby.
Casares Every Friday, market but only five or six stalls, mainly fruit and clothes. Parking non-existent. Walk into the town square for refreshments - very Spanish. Hardly any English spoken.
Fuengirola Saturdays and Tuesdays at Recinto Ferial (fair site). Hardly any parking nearby but the market is of huge proportions and sells everything. Watch for pick-pockets and time share touts at the entrance (ignore any special offers of prizes etc). Don't drink at the cafe near the entrance unless you drink pints (that's all they will sell you). A very English affair. Sundays around the port area.
Tivoli World, BenalmadenaEvery Sunday
Torremolinos Every Thursday by the Town Hall
San Roque Every Sunday 9am-2pm. Great market close to Gibraltar. Reasonable parking.
Benalmadena Every Friday near Museo Arte
