Markets in Guaro
Malaga, Andalusia
Markets in Guaro give this small Guadalhorce Valley village three distinct opportunities to shop across the week, from a regular Thursday street market to two festival-linked craft markets drawing visitors from across inland Málaga. All three are outdoor events, and each has a different character worth knowing before you plan your visit.

Where to stay in Guaro
Guaro is a small village, so accommodation options are limited right in the centre. Staying in Guaro Village Centre puts you close to the local market action, and the compact size means you can easily walk everywhere.
For more choice, the nearby town of Coín is a short drive away and makes a practical base, or you can look at options along the Costa del Sol and make Guaro a day trip. Coín is a solid pick if you want a fuller range of places to stay without straying too far.
Tours & Activities in Guaro
Street markets in Guaro
The Guaro Street Market runs every Thursday on Avenida de Andalucía in the centre of the village. Around 15 stalls cover clothing, footwear, handicrafts and books, making it the largest and most practical of the three markets for everyday shopping. Bring cash, as card payment is not common at small street markets in this part of Málaga.
The Guaro Almond Day Craft Market is a weekly outdoor event dedicated to handicrafts, tied to the village's almond harvest traditions. Stall numbers vary by season, but the focus is on locally made goods rather than general merchandise.
The Guaro Luna Mora Festival Market takes place weekly during the Luna Mora festival period, when the old quarter is lit by candles in celebration of the village's Moorish heritage. Stalls sell handicrafts alongside prepared foods, making it the only one of the three markets where you can eat on site.
For more choice nearby, Coín and Alhaurín el Grande both have larger weekly street markets a short drive away. For official local information, visit the Guaro municipality website.
