Plaza de Toros Street Market

Plaza de Toros Street Market sets up every Sunday from 8am to 2:30pm at the bullring on Calle Matías Prats in Estepona. Around 40 stalls line the entrance tunnels and spread around the arena itself, and locals know it as the rastro. Both cash and cards are taken here, which is unusual for an open-air market. Traders start packing up well before the 2:30pm close, so come early.

What you'll find at Plaza de Toros Street Market

Clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, and handicrafts are what the 40 stalls trade in, a mix of new stock and second-hand. The setting does as much work as the goods: you shop along the tunnels into the ring, then out around the arena. The market is wheelchair accessible.

How to get to Plaza de Toros Street Market

The market is on Calle Matías Prats, a short walk from the town centre, and the bullring is the landmark to aim for. The Puerto Market runs on Sunday mornings too, down at the marina a few minutes away.
