And if they are set in a historic enclave, or by the sea, even better. In Malaga, most flea markets take place regularly throughout the year, but there are also some held exclusively in the summer season.

Handicrafts, fashion, gastronomy, cosmetics, accessories... Everything you need can be found in the dozens of stalls spread throughout these spaces, that were chosen exclusively to make shopping a unique experience.

LaMerced & Co - Artisans in the Plaza
On the first Sunday of every month, the Plaza de la Merced hosts the most alternative flea market in the city. Fashion and accessories, illustrations, ceramics and textiles are some of the many varieties of local products that can be found here.

Its opening hours are from 11am to 7pm. The market usually celebrates a few special editions.

El Paseo Market (The Promenade Market)
On Paseo Marítimo Ciudad de Melilla (the promenade next to La Malagueta beach), El Paseo Market is held on the second Sunday of every month, a flea market that gives visibility to creators, artisans, designers, local producers and solidarity projects.

Its opening hours are from 11am to 7pm, and throughout the day you can see live work demos by the market’s participants, or purchase items from small-scale production.
