Almuñécar Street Market

The stalls lean towards clothing and textiles, with a good range of footwear and leather goods. You'll also find handicrafts and second-hand books. Fresh produce is not the focus here, so for fruit, fish and meat head to one of the municipal markets in Almuñécar instead. It's one of several street markets in Almuñécar worth checking out if you're on the Costa Tropical.

Staying in the Town Centre puts you closest to the street market and within easy walking distance of the beach and old town. The Hotel Casablanca Almunecar is a solid option right in the heart of things, and the Hotel Sol Los Fenicios offers comfortable rooms with sea views just a short stroll away.

If you prefer somewhere quieter, the Playa de San Cristobal area gives you a relaxed base with easy access back into town on market day.

The market runs along Avenida Fenicia, within walking distance of the town centre. Parking on Fridays can be tricky, so arrive early or use one of the underground car parks nearby. The stalls are wheelchair accessible, and dogs are welcome.
