6 markets tracked in Mijas.
Mijas market days cover the whole week. Six markets trade across the municipality, five of them outdoor street markets and one covered municipal mercado, so there is no day when you would arrive to find nothing open. Most run from 09:00 to 14:00. Fresh fruit, vegetables and organic produce are sold alongside cheese, bread, fish and meat, so you can do a full local farmers market shop on any morning of the week. The Málaga province markets page has the wider picture if you are planning a run of several towns.
Staying in Mijas Pueblo puts you within walking distance of the village markets and gives you that classic whitewashed hill-village feel. For something a bit more comfortable, Hotel TRH Mijas works well for reaching both the pueblo and the coast.
If you would rather be near the coastal markets, Mijas Costa has plenty of apartments and hotels that make a good base for combining market mornings with days by the sea.

Five of the six are street markets, set up in the open air on a fixed weekday and gone by early afternoon. Between them they cover the two halves of the municipality: the whitewashed pueblo up on the hillside, and the coastal strip of Mijas Costa down by the sea. The largest is the Sunday flea market, at around 300 stalls, where antiques and handicrafts sit alongside the clothing, footwear and fruit and vegetable pitches.

The single covered market in Mijas holds 15 fixed stalls, which is where the daily food shopping happens: proper counters for meat, fish, bread and local growers' produce rather than trestle tables, with the same traders behind them week after week. Being indoors, it is the reliable option on a wet or very hot morning.

Wednesday is the busiest day here, with three of the six markets trading. Monday, Saturday and Sunday each have two, while Tuesday and Thursday have one apiece. Friday is the quietest trading day of the week, with a single market open, so if Friday is your only free morning it is worth checking before you set off.
The usual pattern is a 09:00 start and a 14:00 finish. Stalls begin packing up before the stated closing time, particularly the produce sellers, so aim to arrive by about midday. Dutch and Scandinavian guides list these same six markets as the Mijas markt or marked, and there is no separate set of markets behind those names.
