Where to stay in Nerja
Staying in Balcon de Europa puts you right at the heart of things, with the Sunday market and local shops all within easy walking distance. The Hotel Balcon de Europa is a solid choice if you want a central base with sea views to come back to after a morning browsing the stalls.
If you prefer something a little quieter, Capistrano is a popular residential area just a short walk from the main market spots and has plenty of apartment rentals that work well for a longer stay.

Market days in Nerja
Nerja has three market days in a normal week: Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Tuesday is the busiest of the three for a general street market, Saturday brings the handicraft and jewellery stalls, and Sunday is the flea market. Nothing trades on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, so a mid-week visit needs planning around Tuesday.
If you are exploring the eastern Costa del Sol, Torrox Costa and Torre del Mar both have their own market days nearby. A full overview of the area is on the Málaga province markets page.
Street markets in Nerja
Every market in Nerja trades outdoors on a street or an open lot. There is no covered municipal market hall here, so the pattern is the same in each case: stalls go up at about 8 am and are being packed away by 2 pm, and the trading is done for the day well before the afternoon. The largest by some distance is the Nerja Sunday Flea Market, with 120 stalls, which pulls a different crowd to the weekday markets as collectors and browsers work through vintage and second-hand goods alongside new stock.
The Tuesday market on Calle Mirto is the compact, practical end of the scene, aimed at people doing a weekly shop for clothes, shoes and plants rather than at day trippers. From the town centre it is a 20 to 30 minute walk, or you can take the local blue urban bus for around €1. Details on location and access are on the Nerja tourism website. The full listing with stall counts and exact hours is on the page for street markets in this city.

Where is the Tuesday market in Nerja?
Nerja's Tuesday market sets up on Calle Mirto, in the northeast of town near the Almijara II complex. It is a 20 to 30 minute walk from the centre, or a short ride on the local blue urban bus for around €1. Roughly 25 stalls trade there each week, from about 8 am until 2 pm.
What day is Nerja market?
Nerja market day is Tuesday, when the Calle Mirto street market runs from around 8 am to 2 pm. Two more street markets follow at the weekend, one on Saturday and the 120-stall flea market on Sunday. That gives Nerja three trading days in a normal week, with nothing at all between Wednesday and Friday.
What time does Nerja Tuesday market open?
Nerja's Tuesday market on Calle Mirto opens at around 8 am, and stalls begin packing up by 2 pm. Those are the usual hours across all three of the town's street markets. Go in the morning rather than close to the finish, because stallholders start clearing their clothing, footwear and plant stalls before the official closing time.
