Puerto de la Torre Street Market
Weekly Tuesday market with 46 stalls selling fresh produce, clothing, leather goods, and plants in Malaga's Puerto de la Torre district.
Puerto de la Torre Street Market sets up every Tuesday from 9:00 to 14:00 on Calle Pirita in the Recinto Ferial area of Malaga. Known locally as the Mercadillo de Puerto de la Torre, it draws shoppers from across the district with around 46 stalls of fresh produce, clothing, leather goods, and household items. Get there early for the best selection, as stalls start packing up well before 2pm. Bring cash, as card payments are not common here.
What you'll find
One side of the market is fresh fruit and vegetables from local farms, along with flowers, plants, pickled goods, and dried fruits. The other side is clothing, footwear, leather bags, jewellery, handicrafts, and gift items. It's a neighbourhood market at heart, so prices are fair and the selection is geared toward everyday essentials rather than souvenirs. If you're looking for more street markets in Malaga, several others run on different days throughout the week.

Where to stay in Malaga
Puerto de la Torre is a residential neighbourhood to the northwest of Malaga city, so staying somewhere with easy access to the ring road or public transport makes sense. Centro Histórico is a solid base, putting you close to the city's transport links so you can reach the market without any fuss.
If you'd prefer something a little closer to the action, look for accommodation on the western side of the city. The AC Hotel Malaga Palacio is a well-known option in the city centre, and Barceló Málaga near the train station gives you great connections across the city.
