Arroyo de la Miel Street Market

Arroyo de la Miel Street Market sets up every Friday from 9am to 3pm on Avenida Manantial, in the Arroyo de la Miel district of Benalmádena. Around 40 stalls line the street, and the mix leans towards clothing, shoes and leather rather than food. Bring cash, because no stall takes cards.

About Arroyo de la Miel Street Market

Everything is outdoors, with no indoor hall or covered section, so on a hot Friday the earlier you arrive the more comfortable it is. The stalls come down at 3pm.

Dogs on leads are welcome along the row of stalls. It is one of several street markets in Benalmádena, each on its own day, and one of many across Málaga province.

What you'll find at Arroyo de la Miel Street Market

Clothing and textiles take up the largest share of the 40 stalls, with footwear and leather goods behind them: sandals, belts, purses and handbags. Beyond that there are handicraft stalls, plus a stall or two of books and magazines. There is no fresh produce and no fish counter, so treat it as a clothes and gifts market.

How to get to Arroyo de la Miel Street Market

The address is Avenida Manantial 1, 29631 Benalmádena. Arroyo de la Miel sits inland from Benalmádena Costa, and the market runs along the avenue itself, so once you are on Avenida Manantial you cannot miss it.

Where to stay in Benalmadena

Arroyo de la Miel is the inland part of Benalmádena, away from the seafront, and staying in Arroyo de la Miel itself puts you within walking distance of Avenida Manantial, so you can reach the stalls at 9am without driving in. For the beach instead, Benalmadena Costa is the alternative base.

What day is Arroyo de la Miel market?

Arroyo de la Miel Street Market runs every Friday from 9am to 3pm, and on no other day of the week. The market is weekly, so that Friday slot repeats year round, and the 40 stalls on Avenida Manantial are packed away by mid-afternoon.

Does Arroyo de la Miel market take cards?

No, Arroyo de la Miel Street Market is cash only, and cash is the only payment method its 40 stalls accept. Bring euros in small notes and coins before the 9am Friday start, because no trader on Avenida Manantial takes a card.

Is Arroyo de la Miel a food market?

No, Arroyo de la Miel Street Market sells clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, handicrafts, and books and magazines rather than fresh food. There is no produce stall and no fish counter among its 40 stalls, so it is somewhere to browse clothes and gifts rather than shop for a meal.
