Ciudad Jardín Street Market

Ciudad Jardín Street Market sets up every Thursday from 9am to 2pm on Avenida de Jacinto Benavente in Malaga, next to the local sports centre. Around 120 stalls line the avenue selling a mix of clothing, footwear, fresh produce, leather goods, jewellery, and handicrafts. It's one of several street markets in Malaga that serve the city's residential neighbourhoods. Bring cash, as most stalls don't take cards. Get there early for the best selection, as stalls start packing up well before 2pm.

What you'll find

The biggest section is clothing and textiles, with around 35 stalls. You'll also find leather bags and footwear, jewellery, and accessories. The fresh produce area has roughly 20 stalls selling local fruits, vegetables, flowers, and plants. There are also stalls with prepared foods, dried fruit, pickled goods, books, and antiques. It's a practical, locals-focused market with good prices rather than a tourist attraction.
