5 markets tracked in Almunecar.
Almuñécar sits on Granada's Costa Tropical, warm enough to grow avocados, mangos and cherimoyas year round. Its five markets run from a covered municipal hall in La Herradura to an open-air night craft market in the town centre, and something trades every day of the week, with Friday and Sunday the busiest.
Staying in Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets and the old quarter, with plenty of cafes and tapas bars nearby. For something right on the seafront, Playa San Cristobal is a solid choice, just a short stroll from the action.
If you prefer a specific hotel, Hotel Casablanca is a well-located, comfortable option that gets you close to the heart of town without any fuss.

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.
Runs every Sunday from 10am to 2pm at Plaza del Agua. An outdoor market of organic produce, cheese, bakery stalls and local handicrafts.

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.
