Every Tuesday, a square in the Almijara neighborhood transforms into the bustling heart of Nerja. The Tuesday market in Nerja is exactly what you hope for from a southern Spanish market: chaotic, warm, smelling of churros and fresh fruit, and full of character. Some 80 stalls display their wares - from oranges to sunglasses, fragrant spices to leather bags. It is where locals do their shopping, tourists haggle for souvenirs and wide-eyed children wander past colorful stalls.
The Tuesday market in Nerja is ideal for anyone who wants to market visits in Nerja with a touch of adventure. Go early for the complete picture - watch the market slowly awaken as you sip your first coffee on a makeshift terrace. Stroll past the stalls, sample a piece of manchego, score a handmade piece of jewelry and negotiate that one summer dress. Count on about 2 hours if you take your time. And yes: there are restrooms, and place to stand in the shade for a while. Be sure to bring water, especially in summer, as the plaza is full of sun.
