Bi-weekly Sunday Mijas Ecological Market

For more options, see our Mijas markets guide.

Two Sundays a month, the boulevard in La Cala de Mijas turns into an open-air pantry of organic produce.

From 09:00 to 14:00, stalls line the walkway with crates of vegetables, fruit, free-range eggs, artisanal breads, cheeses, honey, and olive oil.

You shop directly from growers and small producers, most of them linked to the Guadalhorce eco-market network.

The location is central and easy to find, opposite the local town offices along the Bulevar.

Market Stalls

Expect growers selling seasonal vegetables and fruit from the Guadalhorce Valley, plus eggs, goat and sheep cheeses, fresh breads, nuts and dried fruit, raw and infused honeys, and extra virgin olive oil.

Some stands bring sweet potatoes, aubergines, tomatoes, courgettes, cucumbers, figs, and other in-season staples.

You will also find a few packaged goods with organic certification, like jams or sauces, usually produced by the same farms. 

Market Highlights

The draw here is traceability.

Producers are on hand to discuss seed varieties, picking dates, and the cultivation methods used for the crops. Prices are reasonable, with many shoppers returning for weekly staples.

If you plan around the calendar, the second and last Sundays give you two chances each month, always from 09:00 to 14:00 on the Bulevar de La Cala de Mijas.
