Merkaderes Benalmádena

Merkaderes Benalmádena runs every Saturday from 10am to 2pm on Plaza del Alguacil in Benalmádena Pueblo. Fifteen stalls trade in handmade craft, jewellery and leather, sold on circular economy lines, which makes it a narrower proposition than the other markets in Benalmádena. It sets up outdoors in the square and is packed away by two.

What you'll find at Merkaderes Benalmádena

Fifteen stalls is a ten minute walk round rather than a morning's shopping, and the range is deliberately narrow: handicrafts, jewellery, and footwear and leather goods. No produce, fish or cheese stalls are listed here, so treat it as a browsing stop for handmade pieces rather than a grocery run. Traders set out in the open square, so a wet Saturday is worth checking on before the drive up.

Where to stay in Benalmadena

Staying in Benalmadena Costa puts you close to the seafront and within easy reach of the market. The Hotel Torrequebrada is a solid option if you want something comfortable with good transport links into the area.

If you prefer to be closer to the older part of town, Benalmadena Pueblo is a quieter base and a short walk from where the stalls set up.

Do you need cash at Merkaderes Benalmádena?
