Where to stay in Benamargosa
Benamargosa is a small village in the Axarquía comarca, so accommodation options are limited locally. Staying in Village Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the market activity, and the surrounding rural area has a few country houses and rural guesthouses worth checking.
If you prefer more choice, the nearby town of Vélez-Málaga is just a short drive away and offers more hotels and amenities, making it a practical base for exploring Benamargosa and the wider region.

Street markets in Benamargosa
The Benamargosa Street Market runs every Wednesday along Carretera de Riogordo in the centre of the village. Its 15 stalls cover clothing, handicrafts, fresh fruit, and vegetables, with the morning hours being the busiest. Most stalls pack up by early afternoon, so an earlier visit gives you the best pick of produce. Payment is cash only.
The Benamargosa Field Fair, known locally as the Fiesta del Campo, is a separate weekly outdoor market with a tighter focus on food. Stall numbers are not fixed, but the offer centres on fresh fruit, vegetables, and prepared foods. Given the village's surrounding subtropical orchards, seasonal avocados, mangoes, and citrus often appear at both markets.
If you want a larger market experience in the area, Vélez-Málaga and Nerja both have well-established weekly markets worth combining with a visit here. For background on the village, the Ayuntamiento de Benamargosa provides local information.
