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.
What to buy at Mijas Municipal Market
The 15 stalls cover the essentials: fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery goods.
