Markets in Benajarafe
3 markets tracked in Benajarafe.
Benajarafe has three markets and every one of them is an outdoor street market, set up in this small coastal village between Torre del Mar and Vélez-Málaga. There is no covered municipal hall here, so everything trades from stalls in the open, and the usual hours are 9am to 2pm. Between them the three cover fresh fish and seafood, fruit and vegetables, organic produce, bread and pastries, flowers and plants, clothing, jewellery, prepared foods and handicrafts. The Vélez-Málaga tourism office has useful background on the wider municipality Benajarafe belongs to.

Street markets in Benajarafe
Saturday morning is when the village trades. Two of the three street markets in Benajarafe run that day, the largest of them with around 25 stalls on Calle Zagra near the local sports ground. That one is the broadest of the three for food shopping, mixing fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fish and seafood with clothing and handicrafts. It is wheelchair accessible, and cash is the main payment method across the stalls.
The other two are narrower in what they sell. One is given over to organic produce, fresh vegetables and fruit, bread and pastries, and handicrafts, which is the stop worth making if you want eco-certified or locally grown goods on this stretch of the Málaga coast. The other leans artisan, with handicrafts, clothing, jewellery and prepared foods, and it runs on a seasonal footing rather than year round.

What day is the market in Benajarafe?
Saturday is the market day in Benajarafe, with two of the village's three street markets trading that morning. The largest sets up on Calle Zagra near the sports ground with around 25 stalls, running from 9am to 2pm. Cash is the main payment method, since card acceptance varies from one trader to the next.
How many markets are there in Benajarafe?
Benajarafe has three markets, all of them outdoor street markets rather than a covered municipal hall. The biggest carries around 25 stalls on Calle Zagra. The other two are smaller and more specialised, one given over to organic produce and bakery goods, the other to handicrafts, clothing, jewellery and prepared foods.
What time do markets in Benajarafe open?
Markets in Benajarafe open at 9am and close at 2pm, so shopping here is a morning job rather than an all-day one. Both of the Saturday markets keep those hours, and because all three trade outdoors there is no indoor hall to fall back on once the stalls come down.
Can you buy fresh fish at Benajarafe market?
Yes, fresh fish and seafood is sold at Benajarafe's Saturday street market on Calle Zagra, alongside fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. It is one of ten product categories on sale across the village's three markets, which between them also cover organic produce, bread and pastries, flowers and plants, clothing, jewellery and handicrafts.
