Market days in Torre del Mar
The two busiest days are Saturday and Sunday, with three of the four markets trading on each. Thursday has two, and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday one apiece, which makes Friday the quietest day to shop and Saturday the day to come if you want to see everything the town puts out.
Check the hours before you set off. The commonest trading times here are 18:00 to 00:00, an evening pattern rather than the morning pattern most Spanish markets follow, so arriving at eleven in the morning can leave you looking at an empty stretch of pavement.
Street markets in Torre del Mar
All four are street markets, set up on open ground and packed away the same day. Between them you'll find cheese and dairy, organic produce, fresh fruit and vegetables, spices and herbs, prepared foods, handicrafts, clothing and jewellery. The largest is the Axarquía Artisan Cheese & Wine Market, with 50 stalls.
