LOCAL SHOPS: FLEA MARKET

Entrance to the Flea Market

Saturdays, you will find the FLEA MARKET in Fuengirola. This market has vendors selling used items such as clothing, old furniture, antiques and collectibles. There is also a good range of craftwork available. The entrance to the Flea Market is not far from the train station, and is held on the "feria" or fairground. Just ask one of the locals where the "Mercaillo" is. I believe it was to your left as you exit the train station.

What to buy: What makes this Flea Market so different is that the vendors come from almost every country in Europe -- England, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Morocco and of course -- Spain. The market is huge and the variety of items for sale is even greater. Many of the items come from the vendors home country, which makes for some interesting purchases.

What to pay: Don't always pay the first price you are quoted. "Barter" "Haggle"

Mercacentro Shopping Sentre

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.

Entrance to the Market

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.

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)

At Tuesday and Saturday Markets you will find every sort of things. Tuesday markets are more of fruit, vegetables, ... new but cheap things... AND Saturday Market is of secondhand things. Both of them are very popular and take place in the Feir Recint of fuengirola, near the Central Market.
