Mijas Sunday Boot Market at Centro Comercial Valdepinos

For more options, see our Mijas markets guide.

Every Sunday morning in Calahonda, the car park at Centro Comercial Valdepinos (Calypso) hosts a boot sale/flea market/second-hand rastro, from 9:00 until 14:00.

It has a relaxed, treasure-hunt vibe: visitors wander among stalls of vintage clothes, antiques, collectables, and curiosities rather than fresh produce.

The market is smaller than the major mercadillos in Mijas, which allows for a slower pace and more browsing. 

History & Frequency

This Sunday rastro in Calypso is a regular weekly fixture.

Local media and guides refer to it as one of the "mandatory" Sunday markets in the area, meaning it's well-known among locals and regular visitors.

The "Mercadillo Calypso" is listed for both Thursdays (general goods, produce, clothing) and Sundays (second-hand, antiques, vintage, curios) at the exact location. 

Market Stalls & What's Offered

Mainly second-hand items and antiques: vintage clothing, old household items, curios, perhaps small furniture or decorative pieces. 

On Sundays, many stalls lean toward collector's items or things with character rather than brand-new goods. Buyers who enjoy rummaging through stalls find this especially rewarding. 

The size is modest; it's quieter than the larger fruit-and-produce or artisan markets. 

Market Highlights

People often arrive early to get first picks of vintage or collectable items.

Because the market is located in a shopping centre car park (Valdepinos), there are cafés and shops nearby, making it convenient to combine browsing with a coffee or snack. 

The Sunday market contrasts with the Thursday version of Mercadillo Calypso by being more focused on second-hand/antique items. So if you're looking for bargains, unique items, or vintage styles, Sunday is the better day. 

Summary

The Sunday Boot / Rastro Market at Calypso Valdepinos is a weekly treasure trove for those who like vintage, second-hand, or quirky finds.
