Each Sunday morning, the fairground (Recinto Ferial) in Las Lagunas, Mijas Costa hosts a mercadillo de segunda mano ("boot / flea-market / second-hand market").

It opens around 9:00 and runs through the morning until about 2:00 p.m.

The layout is in the fairgrounds area, a large paved space accustomed to market stalls, making it spacious enough for both a large number of sellers and browsing room for visitors.

History / Recent Changes

Previously, the rastro of Las Lagunas was located in the Polígono San Rafael, but in October 2022, the municipality officially moved it to the Recinto Ferial de Las Lagunas.

This was done after meetings with the vendors, who requested a more suitable space; the fairgrounds provide infrastructure used to ambulant trade.
