Local Summer Markets in Marbella You Shouldn’t Miss

Marbella may be best known for its luxury and elegance, but it also has a down-to-earth side that locals love just as much as visitors do. Street markets, night bazaars, and open-air stalls are woven into the rhythm of the city — places where you can pick up fresh produce, browse handmade crafts, or simply enjoy the atmosphere with a coffee in hand. It’s not about chasing luxury here; it’s about slowing down and discovering the kind of everyday charm that makes Marbella feel alive.

Marbella Monday Market (Las Albarizas)

When: Mondays, 9 AM – 2 PM
Where: Recinto Ferial, Avenida José Manuel Vallés, Marbella

This is Marbella’s classic weekly market — and it has everything. Fresh fruit and vegetables, clothing, accessories, plants, and everyday household items. It’s vibrant, loud, and loved by locals who shop here every week. The location is just a short walk from Marbella Old Town, although parking can be tricky. Arrive early and you’ll catch the best of the stalls before they get busy.

San Pedro de Alcántara Market

When: Thursdays, 9 AM – 2 PM
Where: Recinto Ferial, San Pedro de Alcántara

Every Thursday, the fairground in San Pedro de Alcántara fills with one of the largest markets in the area. Stalls cover everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to flowers, clothing, leather goods and household items, making it a true all-rounder. The market is well laid out, easy to navigate, and has more parking options than most, which makes it practical as well as lively. For anyone wanting to experience a market that locals genuinely rely on week after week, San Pedro is a clear standout.

Nueva Andalucía Market

When: Saturdays, 9 AM – 2 PM
Where: Avenida Manolete, Nueva Andalucía

Saturdays in Marbella mean heading to Nueva Andalucía for one of the area’s biggest and busiest markets. This long-standing favourite stretches around the old bullring and attracts both locals and visitors. Think ceramics, art, rugs, handbags, quirky décor, and the occasional antique. The best approach? Arrive early — you’ll have more space to browse, easier parking, and first pick of the unique finds. Especially during the busiest months of July and August.

Puerto Banús Night Market

When: Daily from 7 PM (June – September)
Where: Plaza Antonio Banderas, Puerto Banús

In summer, Plaza Antonio Banderas transforms into a lively evening market just steps from the port. Expect artisan jewellery, bohemian clothing, handmade gifts and plenty of snacks to keep you fuelled as you browse. With restaurants, bars, and the marina all within walking distance, this market is a perfect pre-dinner stop or a way to extend your evening in Puerto Banús.

Sotogrande Sunday Craft Market

Round off your market tour with a visit just outside Marbella. About half an hour’s drive away, Sotogrande hosts its Sunday Craft Market, officially known as the Mercado Histórico de Sotogrande.

When: Every Sunday, 10 AM – 2 PM (year-round)
Where: La Ribera del Marlin, Sotogrande Marina

This long-running market blends antiques, artisan crafts, and decorative pieces with the refined atmosphere Sotogrande is known for. With the marina as its backdrop and plenty of cafés nearby, it’s the kind of place where browsing stalls easily turns into a relaxed Sunday by the water.
