For storytellers

Why Atarazanas Market matters

Malaga's main market lies under a high iron roof, with a medieval Moorish gate at the entrance. Stalls sell fish, fruit and olives, and cafes serve small plates. It is an easy and delicious stop, and cheaper than the tourist restaurants outside.

Talking points

  • The entrance is a surviving Moorish gate.
  • Fresh seafood is a highlight.
  • It is a good place for a quick, cheap bite.
