Mercado de Atarazanas

The Atarazanas Market is an absolute highlight of Malaga! The architecture is stunning, especially the massive stained-glass window and the historic iron structure. It is such a beautiful place, full of vibrant colors, incredible smells, and so much to see and try. Beyond just shopping for groceries, it’s a fantastic spot for lunch. You can grab a seat at one of the small bars inside and enjoy a cold drink alongside some of the freshest tapas or seafood you'll ever have. It’s a feast for the senses and the perfect way to spend an afternoon in the city!

Discovered this place by chance and was pleasantly surprised. A wet market with a great selection of tapas and ready-to-eat options. The prices offer very good value for money. Bought fresh prawns and cooked them at Airbnb — they were fresh and delicious. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for quality seafood and affordable bites!

Great place to experience local life in Málaga. The building itself is beautiful. It is a restored historic market hall with a stunning stained-glass window that’s worth a look on its own. Inside, you’ll find fresh seafood, meat, fruits, vegetables, spices, and lots of local specialties. It’s lively, colorful, and full of amazing smells, but also quite crowded during peak hours. If you want a calmer visit, come early in the morning. Many stalls offer small snacks or tapas, so it’s a great spot to try local flavors without spending much.

Very beautiful market! Went there at 9.00am, when it opens, and a lot of shops were still closed, so maybe opt for going a bit later if you want to see it all. Got to try white strawberries for the first time, a cross between regular strawberries and pineapple!! Definitely worth the visit!

I love visiting food markets and this was no let down. After a look around the fantastically stocked meat and seafood stalls we decided to take a seat and sample some of the foods and drink on offer. We visited 4 different stalls and tried a selection including, clams, squid, tuna, mussels, prawns and I'm sure there were more besides. If it had been open on Sunday we would have returned the next day as there was still so much we had wanted to try.

What an amazing array of local products, including nuts, cheeses, meats, seafood, olive oil, wine, fruit, and vegetables. Vendors have inside information on what flavors you’ll enjoy. Have something prepared fresh like a croquette of your choice! Tables are available around the outside, also offering so much to see. Toilettes are also available.

The best market I have ever visited. Incredibly fresh fruit and vegetables. Wonderful meat and fish. We bought a large chicken & salad stuffed bocadillo at El Capriche by one of the entances for €6 compared to £18 at the airport. The whole place was heaving at midday. Good time to visit is 10 am when the stands are properly set up. The prices are similar on each stand. Card payments are accepted.

A beautiful market hall in the center of Malaga with a diverse range of offerings. Everything is very fresh and appealing, from fruits and vegetables to fish and seafood, various meats and sausages, drinks, and local cheeses. Plenty of samples are available, and at several stalls, these are even prepared on the spot. A wonderful place to spend some time.

Where the locals go is where I want to be. This is the market where all the locals shop at. Came here and tried the anchovies, artichokes, olives, and more! Bring your shopping back and get ready to be a local!

We always try to visit food markets like this whenever we travel especially the ones in European cities since they really give you a taste of the place. The food all looked wonderful and are beautifully displayed. We made a pass through here earlier in the morning and then returned later to assemble ingredients for a lunch. It does close at 3pm. Too many tempting choices. We got some olives (of course we are in Spain) that were excellent. Then some cheese that the vendor carefully sliced for us since we were lacking a knife. Some jamon and some bread. Too many choices. In addition there are establishments that served meals. A cool spot especially for foodies.

I could shop there every day Fresh fish and meat Also very clean Vendors are great

Whenever I travel, I have to bring home food souvenirs and I knew this place would have cured meats from pigs who fed on acorns (bellota). After walking through the market, I decided on Armando Cuberos which had what I was looking for and was not as frenetic as other places so I could take my time. For my shopping bag, I bought 300-500g of the following: Jamón Iberico, Salchichon Iberico, Chorizo Iberico, and Pecorino with Truffle. The helpful woman knew to vacuum-pack all my stuff for air travel. Fortunately, my hotel room has a mini fridge to keep my charcuterie chilled.

It looks like a market but it's amazingly awesome. They are popular in Spain now I have been told, you can shop for your groceries. From meats, seafood, to vegetables and fruits. Then there are a few places in the Mercado that you can order food to either stand up and eat a a bar or sit outside and order food. The quality is great and was able to try a variety of dishes and order alcohol as well.

A feast for the senses! This indoor market is bursting with the colors and smells of beautiful fresh fruits, veggies, and local specialties like almonds, anchovies, and olives - so many olives! It seems one booth tries to outdo the next with a beautiful presentation of what they offer. We could spend all day here! Walking around gives you a feel for the wonderful people and culture of Málaga. There are also areas where you can order tapas and enjoy wine. The building itself is interesting with its iron work inspired by Les Halles in Paris and its stunning stained glass window. We highly recommend a stop at this market during your stay in Málaga!

Great place to look around with to see what type of food Malaga has to offer. There are different fruits, fish, nuts, tapas, fried food, etc. It was very interesting and got to see lots of fish I haven't seen before. We went to one vendors Bar Mercado Atarazanas. We had to wait about 10 minutes for an outside table. It was well worth it. We ordered a few plates and everything was delicious. I would highly recommend it.

Love this market for the fresh fruit, vegetables and nuts. There is something for everyone here. The prices are very good and the offerings very fresh. The nut sellers always give us samples and we purchase for about 30€, which lasts 2 adults 10 days. Have eaten lunch here and had calamari and grilled sardines. Excellent and fresh as well as inexpensive. Along with a beer and water, this was 14€. The 'restaurant' tents are always full. Would like to try some of the non seafood ones, too. Parking is nearly impossible. We park at the port and walk about a mile to shop at the market. It is very pleasant to do this on a sunny day. Would not recommend the hike on a rainy day. Highly recommended to stock up here.

Made up of different stalls selling produce and other items, I got here at the tail end before they closed unfortunately so the seafood vendors were already closing up shop. Did get to buy some fruit and olives from the other vendors however. The seafood from what I could see looked amazing. I wish this market was close to my town I'd be cooking up seafood more often! I don't know if they had meats and cheeses but if I was staying here another day I'd definitely check them out!

Fantastic market! Beautiful fruit & vegetables! Great place to buy Malaga almonds (freshly roasted & salted) and dried figs. Prices are reasonable and the vendors very friendly. I wish we had a market like this near my house! Fresh seafood and meats looked amazing too! Definitely a must visit while visiting Malaga!

Awesome seafood.. I had a little of everything from there.. clams , snails , shrimp , sea urchins and so on.. it gets busy there so you might have to stand to eat... beer and vino is cheap..

Love Love Love this place!! Cheap fruit... cheap meat... cheap fish! And all with quality. I've never brought anything home rotten. In fact... I never buy my fruit and vedge from a supermarket. And in Spain... it's a MUST to never buy meat in a supermarket. It's terrible. last week I bought a lifetime supply of steaks for 10 euros. It was a poorer cut of a steak (which I actually prefer), had him cut it thick. Took it home... beat the hell out of it and had soft and delicious steaks for super. I come here twice a week. Once to buy what I need for the week... and again for anything i've forgotten. Which I always forget something. Goal: to learn how to cook fish so I can buy that here too!

I love Spanish markets so much! They're some of my favorite attractions in Spanish communities, and I could honestly spend hours in them. Since there's so much finger food available, you could easily spend an entire afternoon snacking and drinking jovially. Definitely don't miss this market.

Wonderful food, I highly recommend a visit. The display of fruit, vegetables, Serrano Hams, fish, nuts, olives galore. Great atmosphere, friendly vendors, little kiosk were you can eat sea food ever so fresh. Beautiful mouth watering display of every kind. If you like markets don't miss it.

Great selection of fruit, vegetables, nuts, fish, meat ... you name it, and at good prices. Also a nice selection of tapas bars around the market's stands. Stop by and order some tapas to eat by the bars' outdoor area.

The Mercado was not yet fully open when we walked by en route to the train station. It is a compact space with stalls that sell meat, fruit and vegetables. And we were told there're two restaurants with tables outdoors. We plan to check it out on our way back after our day trips. Unfortunately their opening hours (8am to 3pm) conflicts with our sightseeing schedule.

If I could eat here and shop here every day, I'd be in absolute heaven. This is a market of MY DREAMS and it is one of the very reasons I WILL return to Malaga in the future. It just doesn't get any better. The seafood here is some of the freshest we had while we were in Spain. OK, I'll be honest. We ate here for lunch 3 days out of the 4 we were there, unapologetically. The prawns, the octopus, calamari, salmon- I could go on for days about how good it all was but you'll never know unless you venture in yourself. And the produce, olives, nuts? Every stand just looks and smells amazing. To boot, everything is reasonably priced. I don't know why I can't have this where I live. Oh wait, I live in a landlocked state...SIGH.

Mercado Central de Atarazanas is one of the iconic places in Malaga and it was hard for me to put in the category of simply shops. However call them for sure this is no ordinary market or greengrocer. We can safely say that this is the attraction of Malaga, which lets you get to know the Spain. more information on http://www.mymalaga.pl/#!mercado-en/c13w7

Love this market! It is in the Old Town of Malaga. It opens quite early in the morning. The market has 3 sections: the meat, the seafood and fruit & vegetables. Everything is so fresh and nicely presented. As a tourist, I love coming here to check out what's available, but I think the majority of the shoppers here are actually locals getting their fresh grocery. It is a great place to get a glimpse of the local life. As I walked through the market, I had the urge to buy kilos of fresh clams, shrimps and fish and have someone cook them for me. I had thought that was the deal of those tapas stands at the edge of the market, but I was told that they only will cook whatever they have in their stand. I found one with a lot of seafood on displace and ordered razor clams, and two type of shrimps. That was one of the better breakfast I have had! Please do yourself a favor and visit this market next time you are in Malaga!

Our group went to Malaga and we went to the Market . It was a large market with many rows of food and vegetables. We sampled many of the items and really enjoyed our visit. This is a good stop if you are in Malaga.
