Algarrobo Costa Street Market

Algarrobo Costa Street Market, the Mercadillo Algarrobo Costa, sets up every Wednesday from 7am to 2pm along Avenida la Pancha in Algarrobo, a small coastal town in the Axarquía region of Malaga. Around 30 stalls line the street near the LIDL car park, selling a mix of clothing, leather goods, handicrafts, and books. Bring cash, since the stalls take nothing else, and get there early: traders start packing up well before 2pm.
