Motril Flea Market

Motril Flea Market, the Rastro de Motril, sets up every Saturday from 9am to 2pm in Plaza de las Hermanas Mercedarias, in central Motril. Fifty stalls trade antiques, clothing and textiles, and handicrafts for those five hours, then pack away by early afternoon. It is the town's flea market rather than its produce market, and it is listed alongside the other street markets in Motril.

What you'll find at Motril Flea Market

Antiques are what the rastro is for, and they take up much of the square: furniture, ceramics and smaller collectibles laid out across the pitches. Clothing and textiles account for a second run of stalls, and handicrafts fill out the rest. With 50 stalls it is a market you can walk twice in a morning, which is the point of a flea market, where the same pitch is worth a second look.

If you prefer to be near the coast, Playa de Poniente is just a short drive from the market and gives you the beach as a bonus after your browsing.
