Weekly Wednesday market with around 25 stalls of clothing, footwear, leather goods, and handicrafts in Málaga's Teatinos neighbourhood.
Colonia Santa Inés Street Market sets up every Wednesday from 9am to 2pm in the Teatinos-Universidad neighbourhood of Málaga. Around 25 stalls line the streets near Los Molinos, selling clothing, footwear, leather goods, and handicrafts. It's a small, neighbourhood market that mostly serves local residents. Bring cash, as card payments aren't widely accepted. Get there in the morning for the best pick, as stalls start winding down well before 2pm.
What you'll find
The stalls focus on clothing, textiles, and footwear, with a good selection of leather and suede bags, belts, and accessories. You'll also find handicrafts, costume jewellery, and gift items. It's one of several street markets in Málaga that cater to everyday shopping rather than tourism.

Where to stay in Malaga
Staying in the historic centre puts you close to everything, and Malaga City Centre is your best base for reaching the Colonia Santa Inés street market on foot or with a short taxi ride. The Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro is a great pick if you want something with views and character, while Room Mate Valeria keeps things central and comfortable without breaking the bank.
If you prefer to be right in the thick of the action, look at staying in Soho, which has seen a lot of good new accommodation open up in recent years and sits close to the market area. Wherever you stay, Malaga is a compact city and getting around is easy.
