Virgen de Belén Street Market

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 neighbourhood market rather than a tourist attraction, and the prices reflect that.

Staying in the city centre puts you within easy reach of the market and Malaga's old town. The Parador de Málaga Gibralfaro is a great pick if you want something with real character, or the AC Hotel Malaga Palacio by Marriott gives you a more central base right near the port.

If you'd rather have flexibility, Centro Histórico has plenty of well-priced hotels and apartments, and you can walk to the market without any fuss.

The market runs along Avenida Virgen de Belén in the 29004 postal district. Bus lines 1, 3, 5, 10, and 27 stop nearby, and metro line L2 (Puerta Blanca or La Luz-La Paz stations) is within walking distance. You can find more street markets in Malaga running on other days of the week.
