Municipal markets in Almunecar
La Herradura Municipal Market is the town's only covered market, a small hall on Paseo Andrés Segovia in the coastal village of La Herradura, about 8 kilometres west of Almuñécar. Its 15 indoor stalls handle everyday shopping: fresh fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy. Being under cover, it trades whatever the weather, which makes it the obvious stop if you are staying along that stretch of coast. Opening details are on the municipal markets page.
Street markets in Almunecar
Four of the five markets are street markets, and they are not variations on the same thing. The largest sets up around 40 stalls of clothing, footwear, handicrafts and books, which makes it a practical shopping morning rather than a food trip. A separate eco market covers the produce side, with organic fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, and bread and pastries grown in the subtropical conditions along this coast.
The other two trade differently again: around 30 stalls of handicrafts, jewellery, clothing and footwear at the night craft market, and a Sunday flea market mixing antiques, clothing, jewellery and second-hand books. Days, addresses and stall counts for all four are on the street markets page.
What day is the market in Almunecar?
Almuñécar's main street market, the largest of the town's four street markets at around 40 stalls, runs on Friday. Three of Almuñécar's five markets trade on a Friday and three again on a Sunday, and the other days of the week each have two open, so there is a market on every day.
