Merced Street Market sets up on the first Sunday of every month in Plaza de la Merced, one of Malaga's most recognisable squares. The market runs from 11am to 7pm and has around 50 stalls. Organised by CATs Markets in collaboration with Malaga City Council, it focuses on handmade and artisan goods rather than typical street market fare. Bring cash, as most stalls don't take cards.
What you'll find
You'll find handcrafted jewelry, leather goods, clothing, ceramics, illustration prints and other handicrafts from local makers. There's also a good selection of antiques, vintage books and second-hand finds. This is one of the more alternative street markets in Malaga, geared towards independent designers and emerging artists.
