Market days in Las Lagunas de Mijas
Trading falls on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Wednesday and Thursday carry one market each, both produce-led; Saturday brings the 40-stall market at the Recinto Ferial; Sunday carries three, the most of any day. Monday, Tuesday and Friday have no market of their own, which is when most people head to Fuengirola or the rest of Malaga province instead. Opening hours are consistent across the week at roughly 9am to 2pm.
Street markets in Las Lagunas de Mijas
The Saturday market at the Recinto Ferial is the one most people mean when they talk about the Mijas Costa market. Its 40 stalls lean towards clothing, footwear, jewellery and handicrafts rather than food, and it draws shoppers from along the coast as well as from the town itself. The Mijas tourism website lists the official market days for the municipality, which is worth checking around fair weeks and public holidays.
Sundays are different in character. A flea market takes over with antiques, books, second-hand clothing, footwear and jewellery, and it is the day to come if you are hunting for something rather than shopping for the week. The midweek markets are the practical ones, with stalls of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood alongside the usual clothing pitches. The full list, with stall counts and locations, is on the street markets in Las Lagunas de Mijas page.
Organic and specialist markets
Two of the six markets here are organic, which is more than most towns of this size in the province manage. One runs weekly in the La Cala de Mijas area with fresh fruit, vegetables and certified organic produce, and the second meets on the second Sunday of each month with a similar range. Both are the place to go for locally sourced goods outside the main Saturday market.
