Fuengirola Sunday Street Market

Each Sunday morning, Calle Méndez Núñez turns into a linear bazaar behind the mosque by Doña Sofía Park.

Stalls open around 9:00 and start closing near 14:00, giving early birds first crack at the best finds.

The set-up runs the length of the street, about 132 travelling stalls in total, so browsing here feels like a steady amble from one discovery to the next. 

History

Fuengirola's markets are a long-standing feature of the city. The municipality highlights two traditional street markets: the larger Tuesday market at the fairgrounds and the Sunday street market at Doña Sofía Park, which operates all year round.

Seen alongside Saturday's flea market at the feria grounds, Sunday's edition completes a three-day circuit that keeps the town's open-air trade humming through the weekend. 

Market Stalls

This is a classic Sunday street market rather than a second-hand rastro.

Expect leather goods, footwear, crafts, costume jewellery, bags, ceramics, dried fruit, toys, music, gifts and textiles, with vendors lined in neat rows along the curb.

The scale is modest compared with Tuesday, yet densely stocked, so you can cover it in a morning and still feel like you've seen plenty. 

Market Highlights

A straight street layout makes it simple to work methodically from one end to the other, pausing for quick chats and price checks.

Regulars praise its tidy organisation and predictable hours, a contrast with the occasional closures that affect the fairground markets during festival weeks.

You'll find both new and some second-hand items mixed in, from everyday clothes and toys to small appliances and tools, which keeps the browsing varied. 

Summary

Come for a purposeful shop or a slow wander.

Sunday's market is compact enough to be manageable, lively enough to stay interesting, and central to the seaside promenade and cafés nearby.

If you want the breadth of a mega-market, go on Tuesday; if you prefer a simple, well-organised street scene with easy browsing and practical buys, Sunday fits the bill.
