Torremolinos Traditional Market

Torremolinos Traditional Market sets up every Thursday and Sunday from 9am to 2pm at the Recinto Ferial de Torremolinos, the fairground on calle Periodista Federico Alba. Seventy stalls trade on open ground, and the whole market packs away by 2pm. It sits alongside the other street markets in Torremolinos and the rest of the markets in the town.

What you'll find at Torremolinos Traditional Market

Fresh fruit and vegetables make up the food side, along with meat and poultry stalls and a run of flowers and plants. What is on the produce tables changes with the season, so a Thursday in February and a Sunday in July look nothing alike.

Clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods trade here too, with handicraft stalls in among them, which makes this as much a general market as a food one.

How to get to Torremolinos Traditional Market

The Recinto Ferial is on calle Periodista Federico Alba, and the 9am start on both trading days gives you a full morning there. The organiser lists the market under its Spanish name, Mercadillo Tradicional, on the official event page.

Where to stay in Torremolinos

Staying in Centro puts you close to the market and within easy walking distance of the beach, which makes it the most practical base. The Hotel Cervantes is a solid mid-range pick in the middle of town, and the Hotel Miami offers a quieter, more characterful option just a short stroll from the market streets.
