Antequera Street Market

Mercadillo de Antequera is an open-air market that sets up every Tuesday from 9am to 2pm along Paseo de los Colegiales in Antequera, inland Málaga province. Around 40 stalls run the length of the street selling clothing, footwear and leather goods, jewellery, handicrafts, and books. Stalls take cash only, and trading stops at 2pm, so this is a morning out rather than an afternoon one.

What you'll find at Antequera Street Market

Clothing and textiles are the market's main trade, with footwear and leather goods taking up much of the rest of the 40 stalls. Alongside them you'll find jewellery, handmade crafts, and a run of books and magazines. There is no fresh produce here: for fruit, vegetables, meat and fish, Antequera's municipal market is where to go instead.
