About the neighbourhood: Distrito Centro

Málaga's historic core, bounded by the Guadalmedina river to the west, the port to the south and the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro to the east. The district contains the Cathedral, the Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba fortress, the Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Centre, plus the main shopping street Calle Marqués de Larios. Inside Distrito Centro sit the well-known sub-areas of Centro Histórico, Soho, La Merced and Lagunillas. The area is almost entirely pedestrianised, served by Metro Atarazanas and the Málaga–Centro Alameda rail station.

The market’s vibe is so good, you can actually experience Spain and Malaga in there. You can find many fresh seafood, meat and the famous Serrano ham too. Don’t forget to try the fresh fruit smoothies which are made from the fresh fruits from the market and also try some of the “exotic” fruits which maybe could not be found in your country.🍓❤️

I went on Monday morning. Not a good day. Most stalls closed. I’ve been before and it’s fabulous. Be prepared to speak Spanish. If you don’t gesture. Do not assume ANYONE speaks English bc it’s unlikely. Have great vegetable and fish options here for inexpensive prices.

Very nice small market to buy decently priced local delicacies, meats, sea food and vegetables. Few restaurants and bars as well. Parking can be an issue if driving there.

Bought 3 rolls for 1.5 euros. Very tasty and fresh. You can also buy fresh fruit, bakery items and use cafes
