San Pedro Alcántara ACUAM Market

San Pedro Alcántara ACUAM Market is an outdoor artisan market on the Paseo Marítimo in San Pedro Alcántara, near Marbella. It runs Wednesday from 9am to 2pm and Friday through Sunday from 10am to 6pm, four sessions a week rather than the one morning a street market usually gets. It is one of the markets in San Pedro Alcántara and appears on the town's street markets list. The stalls sell handmade jewellery, clothing, textiles, footwear and leather goods.

What you'll find at San Pedro Alcántara ACUAM Market

The four product categories here are handicrafts, jewellery, clothing and textiles, and footwear and leather. That makes it a browsing market rather than a shopping list one: silver and beaded jewellery, belts, bags and shoes, and clothing from the makers themselves. No food categories are recorded here, so it sits closer to a craft fair than to a produce mercadillo.
