Mercado Artesanal La Merced runs on the first Sunday of each month from 11:00 to 19:00. It's held in Plaza de la Merced, one of Malaga's most popular squares and the birthplace of Picasso.
What you'll find
The market specialises in handmade goods. Stalls sell jewellery, ceramics, leather items, textiles, and art prints. Most vendors are local artisans, and some only sell at this market.
Street musicians often play between the stalls.
Getting there
Plaza de la Merced is in the old town, a short walk from the Picasso Museum and the Roman Theatre.
Tips
Arrive before midday for the best selection. Bring cash, as many stalls do not accept cards.
