Markets in El Morche
Malaga, Andalusia
The Paseo Marítimo El Morche is home to the village's only market, a Monday morning street market that lines the seafront promenade between Torrox Costa and Torre del Mar. It is one of the more scenic spots to shop along this stretch of the Málaga coast, with the sea as a backdrop to around 25 stalls.

Where to stay in El Morche
El Morche is a small coastal village, so your best bet is to stay close to the beachfront area where most activity is centred. Beachfront Area puts you within easy walking distance of the local market scene and the seafront.
If you prefer a bit more comfort and amenities, the nearby town of Torrox Costa is just a short drive away and has a wider choice of accommodation. Torrox Costa makes a practical base, and you can easily make the trip into El Morche whenever the markets are on.
