Street markets in Periana

The Periana Street Market sets up every Wednesday from around 9:00 along Avenida de la Constitución, with roughly 15 outdoor stalls. Goods on offer include clothing, footwear, and flowers and plants. It is a cash-only market and usually winds down by midday. Dogs are welcome along the row.
