Mercado de Salamanca: the 'middle' of Málaga's heart

Head through the exotic and protective doors of the Mercado de Salamanca to find yourself in the heart of Málaga's bustling market, ornate and lively.

The Mercado de Salamanca, a municipal market in Málaga, Spain, is a tribute to the exotic. Built between 1922 and 1925 in neomudéjar style, it features identical portals on both sides, an arch of varying brick arrangements, and modernist grilles, all covered with azulejos. The market, located in the El Molinillo barrio in the Centro district, was highlighted in the film Lost Command and serves as a famous backdrop to a notable crime. Today, it stands as a vibrant, open-air market.
