Ciudad Jardín Street Market sets up every Thursday from 9am to 2pm on Avenida de Jacinto Benavente in Malaga, next to the local sports centre. Around 120 stalls line the avenue selling a mix of clothing, footwear, fresh produce, leather goods, jewellery, and handicrafts. It's one of several street markets in Malaga that serve the city's residential neighbourhoods. Bring cash, as most stalls don't take cards. Get there early for the best selection, as stalls start packing up well before 2pm.

The biggest section is clothing and textiles, with around 35 stalls. You'll also find leather bags and footwear, jewellery, and accessories.

Where to stay in Malaga
The Ciudad Jardín market sits in a residential neighbourhood a short way from the city centre, so staying central keeps you well-placed. Centro Histórico puts you within easy reach by bus or taxi, and the area has plenty of good accommodation options at every price point. The AC Hotel Malaga Palacio is a reliable and well-located pick if you want something comfortable without any surprises.
If you prefer to be closer to the market itself, looking for accommodation around Ciudad Jardín means you can walk over on market day without any fuss. It's a quieter, more local part of the city, which suits visitors who want to see a side of Malaga beyond the tourist centre.
