Salamanca Market

The stalls cover the full range of a local Spanish market: fresh fish and seafood, meat and poultry, fruit and vegetables, cheese and dairy, olive oil, nuts, and flowers. The fish and seafood section is the main draw, with daily catches from the Málaga coast. Prices are noticeably lower than in tourist-facing parts of the city centre, and it's a genuinely working neighbourhood market rather than a visitor attraction. Worth the short walk north from the old town.

Staying in the city centre puts you within easy reach of Salamanca Market and Malaga's other markets. The Centro Histórico is your best base, with plenty of hotels and easy walking distances to everything. If you want something with a bit more comfort, Hotel Molina Lario is a solid choice right in the heart of the city.

For a reliable mid-range option close to the action, Vincci Selección Posada del Patio is well-placed and consistently well-reviewed. You can walk to the market and still have the port and old town right on your doorstep.

The market is at Calle San Bartolomé 1, 29013 Málaga, in the El Molinillo neighbourhood. City bus lines 2, 20, and 36 stop nearby. Commuter rail lines C-1 and C-2 and metro lines L1 and L2 also serve the area. For stall details and hours, see the market's page on the official Málaga markets site.
