Torrox Costa Summer Night Market

Torrox Costa Summer Night Market sets up every evening from 7pm to 11pm along Paseo Marítimo de Ferrara in Torrox Costa, on the Málaga coast. Known in Spanish as the Mercadillo Nocturno de Verano de Torrox Costa, it runs seven nights a week but only through June, July and August, so it is a summer fixture rather than a year-round one. Stalls sell handicrafts, jewellery and clothing, all of it outdoors on the seafront promenade, and it is one of the street markets in Torrox Costa. Bring cash, since the stalls here are cash only.

What you'll find at Torrox Costa Summer Night Market

Three kinds of stall make up the market: handicrafts, jewellery, and clothing and textiles. That makes it a browsing market for souvenirs and summer wearables rather than a food shop, and the four-hour evening slot suits it. Traders set up as the light goes and pack away at 11pm.

How to get to Torrox Costa Summer Night Market

The market runs along Paseo Marítimo de Ferrara, the seafront promenade at Torrox Costa, postcode 29793. Anyone staying on the coastal strip can walk to it, and because nothing opens before 7pm there is no reason to arrive in the afternoon. For markets further along the coast, see the province page for Málaga.

Where to stay in Torrox Costa

Staying right in Torrox Costa puts you within easy walking distance of the night market, so you can browse, eat, and head back without any fuss. The beachfront strip has plenty of apartments and hotels to choose from, and the atmosphere in the evenings is relaxed and easy.

If you prefer something with a pool and more of a resort feel, Hotel Al-Andalus Torrox Costa is a solid option close to the action. Alternatively, the hillside village of Torrox Pueblo is a few minutes inland if you want a quieter base with easy access to the coast.

What day is Torrox Costa Summer Night Market?

Torrox Costa Summer Night Market runs every day of the week, Monday to Sunday, from 7pm to 11pm. There is no single market day to plan around, but the season matters more than the day here: the stalls only appear in June, July and August, so the thing to check before travelling is the month rather than the weekday.

Is Torrox Costa Summer Night Market open in winter?

No, Torrox Costa Summer Night Market runs only in June, July and August. The stalls on Paseo Marítimo de Ferrara do not set up from September through to May, so a trip to the promenade outside those three months will find nothing trading, whatever the day of the week. It is a seasonal market, not a year-round one.

Do I need cash at Torrox Costa Summer Night Market?

Yes, Torrox Costa Summer Night Market is cash only, so draw money before you walk down to the promenade. The handicraft, jewellery and clothing stalls take notes and coins rather than cards, which is normal for an open-air market that packs away at 11pm each night, and a card will be of little use once you are among the stalls.
