Street markets in Algarrobo-Costa
Every market in the town is an outdoor one, and the street markets in Algarrobo-Costa divide fairly neatly between clothing and food. The largest is the Caleta market, with around 30 stalls open on a Saturday morning until roughly 2.30pm, where clothing, footwear and jewellery dominate. Payment there is typically cash only, so it is worth coming prepared.
The other two lean towards produce and craft: fresh fruit and vegetables, organic growers, bread and pastries, and handicraft stalls. Between them you can do a food shop and a browse for clothes on the same morning, which is why the Saturday overlap is the busiest time to come.
For more market days in the area, Torre del Mar and Torrox Costa both run their own weekly markets and are easy to reach from Algarrobo-Costa.

Are there markets open on a Sunday in Algarrobo-Costa?
Yes, one of Algarrobo-Costa's three street markets trades on a Sunday, although Saturday is the busier day, when all three are open. The town's markets all keep morning hours, opening at 9am and packing up by about 2pm, so a Sunday visit works better before lunch than after it.
What time do the markets in Algarrobo-Costa open?

What can you buy at the markets in Algarrobo-Costa?
