Tours & Activities in Benajarafe
Street markets in Benajarafe
The Benajarafe Street Market is the largest of the three, with around 25 stalls on Calle Zagra near the local sports ground. It runs weekly on Saturday mornings and covers a solid mix of fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fish and seafood, clothing, and handicrafts. It is outdoor, wheelchair accessible, and cash is the main payment method.
The Florymar Eco Market is Benajarafe's dedicated organic option, running weekly outdoors and stocking organic produce, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, bread and pastries, and handicrafts. It is a good stop for anyone looking for locally grown or eco-certified goods along the Málaga coast.
The Benajarafe Christmas Market rounds out the three, operating weekly outdoors and focusing on handicrafts, clothing, jewellery, and prepared foods. It brings a more artisan and seasonal feel compared to the other two markets.
