Tips for visiting
Get there before 10am, while the produce is untouched and the sun is bearable, and carry cash, since card acceptance varies from one stall to the next. For the indoor food halls as well, see all markets in this city or browse the province page.

Stay in Arroyo de la Miel if the markets are the point of the trip: it is the inland hub, the Friday market sets up there, and the train and bus links reach the other pitches without a car. Benalmadena Costa is the beach side and a longer haul uphill for a 09:00 start.
