Alhaurín de la Torre Municipal Market

The market covers the full range of fresh essentials: fish and seafood, fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread from the bakery counters. Between them the 25 stalls do the work of a small grocery store, which is what the hall is for: this is a practical, no-frills market aimed at local shoppers rather than tourists, and it shuts at 2pm with no afternoon session. Cash, credit cards and debit cards are all accepted.

Alhaurín de la Torre is a suburban town just south of Málaga city, so staying in the town centre puts you close to the municipal market and the local shops around it. If you prefer more options, the nearby Málaga city centre gives you easy access by road and a broader choice of places to stay.

For something closer to home, look for accommodation along the main residential areas of Avenida de la Constitución, where you can reach the market on foot without any fuss.

The market is at Calle Vicente Aleixandre, 24, in the town centre. Alhaurín de la Torre sits around 17 km from Málaga city. You can reach the town by suburban bus from Málaga, with several services stopping in the centre. Street parking is available in the surrounding streets, and the entrance is step-free once you are there. It is listed alongside the town's other covered halls on the municipal markets in Alhaurín de la Torre page.
