About Mijas Municipal Market
Compact and practical, the market is organised with fishmongers on one side, butchers on the other, and greengrocers in between. It serves the year-round community rather than the seasonal visitor trade. The space is wheelchair accessible and accepts cash, contactless and mobile payments.
