Huelin Market
An indoor municipal market in Málaga's Huelin district with 162 stalls selling fresh fish, produce, meat, local cheeses, and everyday groceries. Open six days a week.
Huelin Market (Mercado de Huelin) is an indoor municipal market at Calle La Hoz 39 in the Huelin district of Malaga, west of the city centre. It's one of six municipal markets in Malaga, open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 3pm, with 162 stalls selling fresh fish, seafood, meat, fruit, vegetables, and everyday groceries. Unlike the tourist-facing markets in the centre, Mercado de Huelin is a working neighbourhood market, and prices reflect that.
What to buy
The stalls cover the full range of fresh produce: fish and shellfish, cuts of meat and cured meats, seasonal fruit and vegetables, local cheeses, bread, and regional specialities like honey, olive oil, and spices. There are also prepared foods, coffee, and pastry stalls throughout. The food court inside includes a cafeteria well known for serving one of the most affordable set menus in Málaga, making it a solid stop for lunch after your shop.
