Benalmádena Eco Market

Benalmádena Eco Market is the organic street market in Benalmadena, and it sets up every Sunday from 9am to 2pm on Avenida de Gandhi, at the Recinto Ferial La Paloma in Benalmádena Costa. It runs weekly and year round, which makes it the one reliable Sunday morning market in a town whose other street markets in Benalmadena trade on weekdays.

What you'll find at Benalmádena Eco Market

Organic vegetables and fresh fruit are the core of it, alongside bread and bakery goods and a smaller selection of spices and herbs. The range shifts with the growing season, so the tables in January hold different produce from the ones in July. Come early in the five hours it runs if you want the pick of the vegetables.

How to get to Benalmádena Eco Market

The Recinto Ferial La Paloma sits on Avenida de Gandhi, 29630 Benalmádena Costa, on the flat coastal side of town rather than up in the pueblo. The market is entirely outdoors, with no indoor hall to retreat into, so the weather is worth a check before you set off. Dates and any changes are posted on the organiser's official page.

Where to stay in Benalmadena

Staying in Benalmadena Costa puts you close to the seafront and within easy reach of the eco market by foot or a short taxi ride. The Hotel Sunset Beach Club is a solid choice if you want apartment-style comfort with sea views.

For something more central to the town itself, Benalmadena Pueblo is a quieter base with a more local feel, and you'll find it easier to explore the market and the surrounding area at a relaxed pace.

What day is Benalmádena Eco Market?

Benalmádena Eco Market runs every Sunday from 9am to 2pm at the Recinto Ferial La Paloma on Avenida de Gandhi. It is weekly rather than monthly or seasonal, so the same Sunday morning slot holds all year. Arriving mid-morning rather than close to 2pm gives you the fullest choice of produce.

What can you buy at Benalmádena Eco Market?
