Markets in Torre del Mar

The Axarquía Artisan Cheese & Wine Market is the most distinctive of the four, with 50 stalls focused on cheese and dairy, organic produce, prepared foods and spices and herbs. It is the best option if you are specifically looking for regional food products from the Axarquía coast, including locally produced wines and cured cheeses.

The Torre del Mar Street Market runs weekly with 40 stalls and is the most practical choice for everyday shopping, covering fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, spices and herbs, clothing and handicrafts. This is the market most likely to stock locally grown tropical fruit such as avocados and mangos, for which the Axarquía region is well known.

The Torre del Mar Sailor's Market offers 50 stalls with a mix of handicrafts, prepared foods and clothing, giving it a slightly more artisanal character than the general street market. The Torre del Mar Summer Night Market, also 50 stalls, focuses on handicrafts, clothing and jewellery and runs in the evening, making it the only market in town suited to browsing after dark.

Torre del Mar sits between Nerja to the east and Rincón de la Victoria to the west, and all three towns have weekly markets, so it is straightforward to combine visits if you are spending several days on the coast.
