What you'll find at Benalmádena Solidarity Market

Handicrafts are the market's one category, so this is a browsing stop rather than a shop for the week: no fruit and vegetable stands, no clothing rails, just handmade pieces sold by the people who made them. The whole market is outdoors along the marina, which means a wet Monday can thin the stalls out.
