Alfarnate Friday Street Market
Weekly Friday market with around 15 stalls selling fresh produce, clothing, and leather goods in the Axarquía mountain village of Alfarnate.
Alfarnate Friday Street Market sets up every Friday morning in the centre of this small mountain village in Málaga's Axarquía region. Around 15 stalls line the streets from 9am to 2pm, selling fresh fruit and vegetables, clothing, footwear, and leather goods. It's a local affair serving the village and surrounding valley rather than a tourist market, so bring cash. Get there early for the best pick of the fresh produce.

The market splits between fresh produce and everyday goods. One side has locally grown fruit and vegetables from farms across the Axarquía valley. The rest is clothing, footwear, and leather goods for practical shopping.
