Frigiliana Street Market (Thursday)
Weekly Thursday market at Plaza de las Tres Culturas with around 25 stalls selling clothing, handicrafts and leather goods. Cash only.
Frigiliana Street Market sets up every Thursday at Plaza de las Tres Culturas, in the heart of this whitewashed Axarquía village above Nerja. Around 25 stalls fill the square from 8am to 2pm, making market day one of the best reasons to visit Frigiliana on a Thursday morning. Bring cash, as most stalls don't accept cards. Get there early for the best selection, since stallholders start packing up well before closing time.
Frigiliana is regularly voted one of the prettiest villages in Andalusia, and the market adds a lively weekly draw to its narrow cobbled streets. The plaza sits at the entrance to the old town, so you can combine shopping with exploring the Moorish quarter afterwards.
What you'll find
The stalls cover a solid mix of clothing, footwear, leather bags and handmade crafts. You'll find shoes, belts and handbags alongside jewellery, ceramics and textiles. Local producers from the Axarquía region also sell dried fruits, spices, goat's cheese, olive oil and Frigiliana's famous miel de caña (sugar cane honey). Fresh herbs like thyme, oregano and rosemary are popular picks.
If you're after more street markets in Frigiliana, this is the only regular one, but the permanent craft shops along the old town streets are worth browsing any day of the week.
