Sabinillas Friday Market

Sabinillas Friday Market sets up along the Paseo Marítimo at La Noria, the seafront strip of Sabinillas in Manilva. It runs on Fridays from 9am to 2pm, and the draw is the setting as much as the shopping: a line of clothing, footwear and produce stalls with the beach on one side of you.

About Sabinillas Friday Market

Trading is weekly and open-air, with no roof over the stalls, so a hot August morning is best tackled early and a wet winter Friday can be a thin one. The stalls run along the La Noria end of the promenade, in the 29692 postcode of Manilva, a short walk from the cafes on the front. Manilva holds more than one mercadillo, so if Friday does not suit your week, compare the days among the street markets in Manilva before you set off.

What you'll find at Sabinillas Friday Market

Clothing and textiles take up much of the run, alongside footwear and leather goods, the usual mix of shoes, sandals and belts stacked on trestle tables. Between them you'll find fresh fruit and vegetable stalls, the reason many local shoppers come at all, and prepared foods if you would rather eat than cook. Bring some cash, as not every stall on an open-air pitch takes cards.

How to get to Sabinillas Friday Market

Head for the Paseo Marítimo in Sabinillas and walk along the seafront to La Noria. From anywhere in Sabinillas itself the market is an easy walk, and drivers should park in the streets behind the promenade rather than on the front. The organiser posts details on the Manilva local radio and TV site.
