About Virgen del Carmen market
This is one of three municipal markets in Fuengirola, and the most neighbourhood-focused of the three. The stalls are compact and covered, giving you shelter while you shop. You'll find butchers, fishmongers, fruit and vegetable sellers, and a bakery stall. It's a practical market rather than a tourist attraction, with a local feel that sets it apart from the larger Boquetillo market closer to the town centre.
The market is wheelchair accessible and accepts contactless and mobile payments alongside cash.
What to buy at Virgen del Carmen market
The 15 stalls cover the daily essentials: fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and bread. Early morning on weekdays gives you the widest choice, particularly for fish and meat. The selection is smaller than Boquetillo's 25 stalls but the quality is consistent and the atmosphere relaxed.
