Benamargosa Street Market sets up every Wednesday from 9am to 2pm along Carr. Riogordo in Benamargosa, a small village in the Axarquía region of Málaga. Around 15 stalls line the road each week. Bring cash, as card payments aren't accepted. Get there before 11am for the best pick of fresh produce.
What you'll find
You'll find fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, clothing and textiles, and local handicrafts. Benamargosa sits among subtropical orchards, so look out for locally grown avocados, mangoes, and citrus when in season. The rest of the stalls cover everyday clothing and household goods.

Where to stay in Benamargosa
Benamargosa is a small village, so accommodation options are limited locally. Staying in the town centre puts you within easy walking distance of the Wednesday street market, and a handful of rural guesthouses and casas rurales in the area make for a pleasant base.
If you prefer more choice, the nearby Axarquía towns of Vélez-Málaga or Torre del Mar are just a short drive away and offer a wider selection of hotels and apartments, making them a practical alternative if you want to combine the market with more to do in the evenings.
