Motril Summer Night Market

Seasonal fresh fruit from local growers sits alongside clothing and textile stalls selling everyday wear and accessories. The rest of the 150 pitches run to footwear and leather goods, jewellery, and handcrafted items that make good souvenirs. Everything is outdoors on the promenade, so the market depends on the weather as much as the calendar.

Motril is a small coastal town, so staying central is your best bet. Town Centre puts you within easy reach of the summer night market, and you'll find a good spread of hotels and apartments around the seafront at Playa de Poniente.

If you'd prefer a named hotel, Hotel Tropicana is a reliable choice close to the action. Book early in summer, as the coast fills up quickly during the warmer months.

The market runs along Paseo Marítimo de Playa de Poniente, the seafront promenade rather than the town centre, so head for the beach and follow the stalls along the front. Motril town hall publishes its street trading and market information on its official page, which is the place to check for a cancellation or a change of dates.
