we went to the one with a light blue banner. to get a spot, you have to loiter around the bar awkwardly until someone leaves and snatch the spot. It's all standing space and the guy at the counter won't pay any attention to you unless you shout "perdon" and have your order ready. the seafood was so fresh. in the case of the gooseneck clams, they tasted a little too fresh and from the ocean (if u know what i mean). the grilled razor clams and grilled padron peppers were phenomenal. the bread and herb aoli was a surprising smash hit, only 1€ and a meal in and of itself. the paella was delicious as well, replete with a variety of different seafoods (including the plumpest of mussels) but it was too salty to enjoy without a beer and ranks second in terms of seafood flavor to the paella from bar santa cruz in se. i did avail myself with glee to the large juicy slice of lemon that came with every plate though. read more

Quality/Quantity - Love visiting the local markets. To see the people and experience and culture. Too bad we got here and could not stay. But at least we got to check it out. This was our last stop to visit on our list today. Many bars and restaurants. Fresh produce, seafood, meats, etc. Ambiance - Decent size market. And plenty of surrounding businesses. A nice architecture. It would have been nice if I had more time to visit, too jam-packed of a day. Well half a day, but you know that because you are following. Several entrances. Open 6 days a week from 8am to 2pm or 3pm or when they sell out. Closed Sundays. The fish market is also closed on Mondays. Service - Good, busy. Both locals and tourists here. Price - Competitive market, so very reasonably priced, especially for the quality of foods. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since the 14th century. 1870 when made into a market. 1979 - Refurbished. read more

This is my third trip to this location. I come in for my fresh fish and paella . They have the best wines and the energy is very high. Service is amazing- they remember what you have and I had my wine , paella and fresh fish for 22euros. Order your paella in a small size because everything else is large. I shared with my neighbors while they were eating. Ambiance is very colorful and clean. read more

I search out the Mercados when I travel. Malaga's huge market will not disappoint. Spend a couple of hours with the locals, just don't get in their way, exploring all the fabulous food the south of Spain has to offer. The Ratatouille in me is always in cheese heaven. SO many varieties of goat, sheep and cows cheese to choose from. I will never get through all of them. The incredible fresh seafood, many still gasping from their very recent plucking from their watery home. Vegetables so unbelievably fresh and beautiful. Spices. They were my main purchase this day. Why bother to fix true Spanish dishes unless you have a great selection of the appropriate spices. Spain, all the devine jamòn. Legs of various aging just waiting to be sliced just for you. Fresh meats that will have your head spinning- I don't know what to cook first. When traveling always check out the local market. Many stalls will offer samples to try. Other have items that can be prepared to travel home with. Some purchases just may not make it out the door they are so delicious. One last tip- go early in the morning 7-8 am for the best selection. And most markets close around 2 pm. read more

Don't skip this market. So many foods to try and at affordable prices. My favorite standards the olive oil lady. We tasted so many oils and balsamic glazes. The olive bar was very popular as well. I also left with sweet garlic from that stand that was vacuum sealed to take home. Go hungry! read more

Where the locals go is where I want to be. This is the market where all the locals shop at. Came here and tried the anchovies, artichokes, olives, and more! Bring your shopping back and get ready to be a local! read more

We always try to visit food markets like this whenever we travel especially the ones in European cities since they really give you a taste of the place. The food all looked wonderful and are beautifully displayed. We made a pass through here earlier in the morning and then returned later to assemble ingredients for a lunch. It does close at 3pm. Too many tempting choices. We got some olives (of course we are in Spain) that were excellent. Then some cheese that the vendor carefully sliced for us since we were lacking a knife. Some jamon and some bread. Too many choices. In addition there are establishments that served meals. A cool spot especially for foodies. read more

Mercado de Atarazanas - Outside - Farmers Market Near Me - Málaga, Massachusetts

Whenever I travel, I have to bring home food souvenirs and I knew this place would have cured meats from pigs who fed on acorns (bellota). After walking through the market, I decided on Armando Cuberos which had what I was looking for and was not as frenetic as other places so I could take my time. For my shopping bag, I bought 300-500g of the following: Jamón Iberico, Salchichon Iberico, Chorizo Iberico, and Pecorino with Truffle. The helpful woman knew to vacuum-pack all my stuff for air travel. Fortunately, my hotel room has a mini fridge to keep my charcuterie chilled. read more

It looks like a market but it's amazingly awesome. They are popular in Spain now I have been told, you can shop for your groceries. From meats, seafood, to vegetables and fruits. Then there are a few places in the Mercado that you can order food to either stand up and eat a a bar or sit outside and order food. The quality is great and was able to try a variety of dishes and order alcohol as well. read more

A feast for the senses! This indoor market is bursting with the colors and smells of beautiful fresh fruits, veggies, and local specialties like almonds, anchovies, and olives - so many olives! It seems one booth tries to outdo the next with a beautiful presentation of what they offer. We could spend all day here! Walking around gives you a feel for the wonderful people and culture of Málaga. There are also areas where you can order tapas and enjoy wine. The building itself is interesting with its iron work inspired by Les Halles in Paris and its stunning stained glass window. We highly recommend a stop at this market during your stay in Málaga! read more

Great place to look around with to see what type of food Malaga has to offer. There are different fruits, fish, nuts, tapas, fried food, etc. It was very interesting and got to see lots of fish I haven't seen before. We went to one vendors Bar Mercado Atarazanas. We had to wait about 10 minutes for an outside table. It was well worth it. We ordered a few plates and everything was delicious. I would highly recommend it. read more

Fantastic market! Beautiful fruit & vegetables! Great place to buy Malaga almonds (freshly roasted & salted) and dried figs. Prices are reasonable and the vendors very friendly. I wish we had a market like this near my house! Fresh seafood and meats looked amazing too! Definitely a must visit while visiting Malaga! read more

Love this market for the fresh fruit, vegetables and nuts. There is something for everyone here. The prices are very good and the offerings very fresh. The nut sellers always give us samples and we purchase for about 30€, which lasts 2 adults 10 days. Have eaten lunch here and had calamari and grilled sardines. Excellent and fresh as well as inexpensive. Along with a beer and water, this was 14€. The 'restaurant' tents are always full. Would like to try some of the non seafood ones, too. Parking is nearly impossible. We park at the port and walk about a mile to shop at the market. It is very pleasant to do this on a sunny day. Would not recommend the hike on a rainy day. Highly recommended to stock up here. read more

Made up of different stalls selling produce and other items, I got here at the tail end before they closed unfortunately so the seafood vendors were already closing up shop. Did get to buy some fruit and olives from the other vendors however. The seafood from what I could see looked amazing. I wish this market was close to my town I'd be cooking up seafood more often! I don't know if they had meats and cheeses but if I was staying here another day I'd definitely check them out! read more

Love Love Love this place!! Cheap fruit... cheap meat... cheap fish! And all with quality. I've never brought anything home rotten. In fact... I never buy my fruit and vedge from a supermarket. And in Spain... it's a MUST to never buy meat in a supermarket. It's terrible. last week I bought a lifetime supply of steaks for 10 euros. It was a poorer cut of a steak (which I actually prefer), had him cut it thick. Took it home... beat the hell out of it and had soft and delicious steaks for super. I come here twice a week. Once to buy what I need for the week... and again for anything i've forgotten. Which I always forget something. Goal: to learn how to cook fish so I can buy that here too! read more

I love Spanish markets so much! They're some of my favorite attractions in Spanish communities, and I could honestly spend hours in them. Since there's so much finger food available, you could easily spend an entire afternoon snacking and drinking jovially. Definitely don't miss this market. read more

Mercado Central de Atarazanas is one of the iconic places in Malaga and it was hard for me to put in the category of simply shops. However call them for sure this is no ordinary market or greengrocer. We can safely say that this is the attraction of Malaga, which lets you get to know the Spain. more information on http://www.mymalaga.pl/#!mercado-en/c13w7 read more

Great selection of fruit, vegetables, nuts, fish, meat ... you name it, and at good prices. Also a nice selection of tapas bars around the market's stands. Stop by and order some tapas to eat by the bars' outdoor area. read more

If I could eat here and shop here every day, I'd be in absolute heaven. This is a market of MY DREAMS and it is one of the very reasons I WILL return to Malaga in the future. It just doesn't get any better. The seafood here is some of the freshest we had while we were in Spain. OK, I'll be honest. We ate here for lunch 3 days out of the 4 we were there, unapologetically. The prawns, the octopus, calamari, salmon- I could go on for days about how good it all was but you'll never know unless you venture in yourself. And the produce, olives, nuts? Every stand just looks and smells amazing. To boot, everything is reasonably priced. I don't know why I can't have this where I live. Oh wait, I live in a landlocked state...SIGH. read more

The Mercado was not yet fully open when we walked by en route to the train station. It is a compact space with stalls that sell meat, fruit and vegetables. And we were told there're two restaurants with tables outdoors. We plan to check it out on our way back after our day trips. Unfortunately their opening hours (8am to 3pm) conflicts with our sightseeing schedule. read more

Love this market! It is in the Old Town of Malaga. It opens quite early in the morning. The market has 3 sections: the meat, the seafood and fruit & vegetables. Everything is so fresh and nicely presented. As a tourist, I love coming here to check out what's available, but I think the majority of the shoppers here are actually locals getting their fresh grocery. It is a great place to get a glimpse of the local life. As I walked through the market, I had the urge to buy kilos of fresh clams, shrimps and fish and have someone cook them for me. I had thought that was the deal of those tapas stands at the edge of the market, but I was told that they only will cook whatever they have in their stand. I found one with a lot of seafood on displace and ordered razor clams, and two type of shrimps. That was one of the better breakfast I have had! Please do yourself a favor and visit this market next time you are in Malaga! read more

Our group went to Malaga and we went to the Market . It was a large market with many rows of food and vegetables. We sampled many of the items and really enjoyed our visit. This is a good stop if you are in Malaga. read more
