Pizarra runs three outdoor street markets serving this Guadalhorce Valley town, about 30 km from Malaga. The largest is the mercado held every Thursday, with around 40 stalls along Avenida de la Constitución selling fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, seafood, clothing, and footwear. Alongside it, two ecological markets bring organic produce, cheese, dairy, bread, and pastries to the town on separate weekly dates.
Pizarra is a small town, so your best bet is staying in Town Centre where you'll be close to the local market action and can easily walk to the main square. If you'd prefer more options for accommodation, the nearby city of Málaga is just 30 kilometres away and makes a practical base.
For a quieter stay with easy road access into Pizarra, look at properties along the Guadalhorce Valley which put you in the heart of the surrounding countryside without being too far from the town itself.
