Very big grocery store with a fair amount of selection - love it. Wish they had one closer to where…read moreI live

I search out the Mercados when I travel…read more 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.

Quality/Quantity - Love visiting the local markets. To see the people and experience and culture…read more 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.

I come here only when I really have to. IE: if i'm going to primark and need something quickly,…read morei'll come here. I guess the beef I have is when a checkout lady was nasty with me when I told her I needed a plastic bag. 4 times I asked as she's ringing stuff up, then she made a mention how she hated this job without realising I spoke spanish. Then... when I got home, I realised she charged 10 eruos extra on my receipt. Something that wasn't in my bag. I'm guessing when she needs to buy things... she rings them up for other people then takes them home. So she doesn't have to pay. This has happened to me before so i'm guessing that was it. I couldn't be asked to walk all the way back when I realised I was overcharged. But that cow ruined my good mood. ================= Anyways, outside of my 1 bad experience which knocks off stars: I prefer Carrefour, but it's far from home. This store has a lot, but not everything. Prices are so so. Cheap on some, expensive on others. Best to make your own judgement. It's hard for me to write unbiased cause of my 1 experience.
