Also not far from the train station is the MERCACENTRO SHOPPING CENTRE. Of course I had to browse through here and check it out. There was a grocery store and many little specialty shops that sold flowers, cards ( I picked up a few post cards of Fuengirola), souvenirs and T-shirts. Hansi waited patiently outside and probably took movies, while I snooped.

Since Tuesdays are MARKET DAY in Fuengirola, Hans and I decided to go there on that day and also we were meeting up with Eva (Diageva). It was a very busy place to be even though the weather was not the greatest as it was cold and very windy. We took the train to Fuengirola. You should get off at "Los Boliches". We asked how to get to the Mercado but the correct word is "Mercaillo".

What to buy: As it was a cold and windy day, I really wanted to buy a nice scarf to put around my neck. After checking out a few places, I found what I wanted and it matched perfectly with my blue jacket.
Also to be found were fresh fruit and vegetables, new clothes, household items and CD's, to name a few.

Fuengirola boast itself on having the largest Markets in the '' Costa del Sol '',well it sure is a large '' Market Plaza '' as you can see in several pictures . On tuesdays there is a regular market with all kinds of vendors and wares,and on Saturdays there is a '' Flea Market '',these markets are called '' car boot sales ''you will finds these kind of markets all over Europe.
These '' stallholders '' vendors, do come from almost every country in Europe and a large variety of goods are sold .Antigues Crafts ,but also regular household items new and old.This is a MUST visit when in Fuengirola (unless you hate shopping like Hansi does ,in that case there are enough coffee shops to hide in)

This that perhaps you nead in a travel and dont what to spend many money, ... a plate, a umbrela, a candle ... they use to have a name but they use to have also something like "TODO A CIEN" that means that you can buy everything inside at 60 cents euro.
