Torre del Mar Thursday Market sets up every Thursday from 9am to 2pm in Torre del Mar, the coastal district of Vélez-Málaga.

What you'll find at Torre del Mar Thursday Market
Fresh fruit and vegetables, clothing and textiles, footwear and leather goods, handicrafts, and flowers and plants are what the 187 stalls sell between them. That mix makes it a general weekly market rather than a food market, so produce pitches sit alongside clothes rails and shoe stands. Everything is outdoors, with no cover if the weather turns.
Where to stay in Velez-Malaga
Torre del Mar is a beach resort town, so staying close to the seafront puts you right near the Thursday market and everything else. Try Seafront and Beach Area for easy access on foot, or base yourself in Town Centre if you want to be a short drive away in the historic heart of the area.
If you prefer a more comfortable base with amenities, Hotel Mainake is a solid option right in town and well placed for the market.
