Virgen de Belén Street Market
Weekly Wednesday market with 86 stalls selling fresh produce, clothing, and leather goods in Malaga's Belén neighbourhood.
Virgen de Belén Street Market sets up every Wednesday from 9am to 2pm on Avenida Virgen de Belén in Malaga. Around 86 stalls line the avenue, split between fresh produce and general goods. It's one of Malaga's mid-week neighbourhood markets, serving the Belén district with affordable, locally sourced products. Bring cash, as most stalls don't take cards. Get there early for the best selection, as stalls start packing up well before 2pm.
What you'll find
The market has a solid fresh produce section with 22 fruit and vegetable stalls selling seasonal produce, olive oil, local honey, nuts, dried fruits, and spices. The other half covers everyday goods: 17 clothing and footwear stalls, leather goods, jewellery, handicrafts, flowers, plants, and books. It's a practical market for weekly shopping rather than a tourist attraction, and the prices reflect that.
