Mijas Pueblo Wednesday Market

Mijas Pueblo Wednesday Market sets up every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm on Plaza de la Virgen de la Peña, the square at the entrance to the whitewashed village of Mijas in Malaga province. It runs weekly and all year, and it is the village's craft market rather than a produce one: the two categories the traders cover are handicrafts and footwear and leather. Stalls are in the open air on the square, so carry euros in cash.

What you'll find at Mijas Pueblo Wednesday Market

Handicrafts are the reason most people walk up for this one, and the makers set out decorative and handmade pieces small enough to carry home. The other half of the market is footwear and leather: sandals, bags and belts on stalls that sell nothing else. Four hours is the whole window, and the traders pack away at 2pm rather than trading into the afternoon, so a late-morning arrival gives you the market at its fullest.

How to get to Mijas Pueblo Wednesday Market

Plaza de la Virgen de la Peña sits at the edge of Mijas Pueblo's old centre, next to the village's main viewpoint, and everything on the square is a short walk from the rest of the pueblo. For the other markets in the municipality, including the coastal ones, see street markets in Mijas or the wider Malaga province listing. Dates and any changes are published on the official page.
