Markets in San Pedro Alcántara
Malaga, Andalusia
San Pedro market comes in two distinct forms: a covered municipal hall on Calle Caravaca open six days a week for fresh food, and a weekly outdoor street market focused on crafts, clothing, and jewellery. Both sit within easy reach of the town centre, making it straightforward to combine a food shop with a browse through the stalls on market day.

Municipal markets in San Pedro Alcántara
The Mercado Municipal de San Pedro Alcántara on Calle Caravaca is a compact indoor hall with around 25 stalls. Stallholders sell fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, and cheese and dairy products. It opens Monday to Saturday from 08:00, with slightly shorter hours on Saturdays, so arriving early at the weekend is advisable. The hall is wheelchair accessible and draws a largely local crowd doing their weekly food shopping.
Street markets in San Pedro Alcántara
The San Pedro Alcántara ACUAM Market is a weekly outdoor street market with a different focus entirely: handicrafts, jewellery, clothing, and footwear rather than fresh produce. It runs once a week and is popular with both residents and visitors browsing for gifts or casual clothing. For the current schedule and exact location details, the Marbella town hall publishes updated market information for all markets within the municipality, which includes San Pedro Alcántara.
San Pedro Alcántara is part of the broader Malaga province market circuit. If you want more choice, the markets in Marbella and Estepona are both a short drive along the coast and between them cover several additional market days through the week.
