On Sunday mornings, Nerja's Plaza de España turns into an open-air treasure trove. The flea market is a motley collection of stalls with second-hand books, forgotten works of art, yellowed postcards and vintage toys that have a smell to them - literally. You can smell the old leather bags and see shiny jewelry that has endured generations.

Among local collectors, expats and curious tourists, you'll wander past furniture with scratches that whisper stories. No plastic junk, but character. Those who wander the stalls here rarely come home empty-handed. Maybe an LP by Santana, maybe a cast-iron candle holder - always something unexpected.

The market is small but lively, with a friendly atmosphere and merchants eager to share their stories. Perfect for a Sunday morning without a rush.
