Riogordo Street Market (Wednesday)

Riogordo Street Market sets up every Wednesday from 9:00 to 14:00 on Plaza de la Constitución, the main square of Riogordo in the Axarquía hills inland from Málaga. Around 20 stalls trade clothing, handicrafts and flowers for the morning, and the square is clear again by early afternoon. Bring cash, which is the only payment the stalls take.

What you'll find at Riogordo Street Market

The 20 or so stalls cover three things: clothing and textiles, handicrafts, and flowers and plants. No fresh produce is listed here, so this is a market for a shirt, a gift or a potted plant rather than the week's shopping. A children's play area sits on the square, which helps if you are browsing with children. Riogordo's street markets are listed together among the street markets in Riogordo.
