Mijas Recinto Ferial in Las Lagunas: Every Saturday

Every Saturday morning, the fairground at Recinto Ferial de Las Lagunas fills with rows of white tents and stalls.

From 9 a.m. onward, this part of Mijas Costa becomes a busy meeting point, with residents shopping for their weekly fruit and vegetables while visitors browse clothing, accessories, plants, and household goods.

The setting at the fairground is designed for large gatherings, so stalls are well-spaced, and parking is easier than in many village markets.

The official timetable is Saturdays, 09:00–14:00, as published by Mijas Town Hall and confirmed in local tourism listings.

History

Like the other weekly markets in Mijas, the Las Lagunas market is run under municipal licensing, part of a long tradition of regulated "mercadillos" on the Costa del Sol.

The town council manages vendor permits and adjusts layouts during festival periods, ensuring the market runs smoothly throughout the year.

While it lacks the seafront setting of La Cala or the hillside charm of Mijas Pueblo, Las Lagunas stands out for accessibility and size, drawing in shoppers from Fuengirola and Marbella as well.

Market Stalls

The Las Lagunas market is one of the largest in the area, boasting over 100 stalls on a typical Saturday.

Produce sellers line one section, offering tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, citrus, melons, and seasonal Andalusian harvests.

Other stretches feature spices, olives, cheeses, cured meats, nuts, and dried fruit.

Beyond food, there are stalls with clothing, shoes, handbags, belts, bed linens, kitchenware, toys, and flowers. The scale makes it more of a "one-stop" market compared to smaller village setups.

Market Highlights

Shoppers often mention the variety and fair prices at Las Lagunas.

Regulars stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables for the week, while newcomers are drawn to the olive vendors and spice stalls, which stand out for their aromas and colourful displays.

Plant stands are popular in spring, selling garden herbs, potted flowers, and small citrus trees.

Unlike the seafront craft stalls seen in La Cala, this is a classic municipal street market, practical and wide-ranging, with a loyal crowd that appreciates its size and convenience
