About Fuengirola Municipal Market

The market trades six days a week under one roof, so you shop out of the sun and out of the rain. Fifteen stalls is small enough to walk end to end in a few minutes, and the pattern of the week matters more than the size: weekdays give you six and a half hours from 8:30, while Saturday is a shorter morning that finishes at 13:30.

The hall is wheelchair accessible, and stalls take cash, contactless cards and mobile payments.

What to buy at Fuengirola Municipal Market

The 15 stalls cover daily food shopping: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and bread and bakery. Fish and meat are the counters worth arriving early for on a weekday, since the market runs from 8:30 while the Saturday session does not begin until 9:00. There is no separate opening for Sunday trade, so a weekend visit means Saturday morning.
