Iznate Street Market (Sundays)

Iznate Street Market sets up every Sunday from 8am to 2pm on Calle de la Fuente in Iznate, a small whitewashed village in Málaga province's Axarquía region. It's a compact, cash-only market where locals and visitors pick up fresh produce and everyday goods. Get there early for the best selection, as stalls start packing up well before closing time.

What you'll find

The market splits between fresh produce and general goods. One side has seasonal fruits and vegetables from the surrounding hillsides, where Iznate is known for its Moscatel grapes, avocados, and almonds. The other side sells clothing and textiles. This is a small community market, so don't expect dozens of stalls, but what's here is local and fairly priced.

How to get to Iznate Street Market

The market sets up along Calle de la Fuente in the centre of the village. Iznate is about 30 kilometres inland from the coast. Take the A-7 motorway, exit at Vélez-Málaga, and follow local roads north into the hills. Street parking is available but fills up on market day. Public transport is limited, so driving is the easiest option. If you're exploring street markets in Iznate and the wider Axarquía, nearby Vélez-Málaga and Benamargosa also hold weekly markets.
