Whatever you want to call it, these markets have a local touch where visitors can also find something for a good price. The street markets in Marbella<\/strong> offer a wide range of possibilities: silver bracelets, necklaces, earrings, handbags, long hippy style dresses, scarves, espadrilles\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Marbella, one of the area\u2019s best-known organic markets takes place on the first and third Saturday of every month, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, on Avenida de Espa\u00f1a in Pinares de Elviria. The food sold at this market comes from local farms and small-scale producers who want to showcase their products. This considerably reduces the number of intermediaries involved and the need for preservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most practical way to get around Marbella is by public transport, however if you don\u2019t want to use it and would rather go by car, you can park your vehicle near Hard Rock Hotel Marbella or on the neighbouring streets. We won\u2019t lie to you, it will take you a while to find a space, so be patient. Another alternative is to use one of the public car parks in Puerto Ban\u00fas and walk from there to the street market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it is relatively close to the city centre, you can get there on foot or by public transport. Routes and timetables may change, so it is advisable to check them before setting off. If you are travelling by car, bear in mind that parking nearby may be limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the third Saturday of each month, Marbella hosts La Campana (calle Sirio), one of the most famous street markets for ecological products. Here the food comes from local farms or small growers in the region who want to display their products, considerably reducing the need for middlemen and the use of preservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public transport is the best option for getting around Marbella, although you can also venture out in a private vehicle, but we will say that it\u2019ll be hard to find a parking space, so be patient and if you still can\u2019t find one, use one of the car parks and walk to the street market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The La Virginia street market is one of the most anticipated social events of the calendar for crafts lovers and Marbella can only enjoy it twice a year: in spring and Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This market has become fashionable 30 years ago by the hand of the family of Karine Maeck and since then its influx has increased because more and more visitors that arrive for the first time discover not only a nice event, but also an unknown corner of tourism in Marbella, the estate La Virginia, thanks to this market La Virginia turns its cobbled streets, its balconies full of flowers and its small chapel in storefronts with the latest in fashion and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Virginia is filled with homemade food stands, music, hats, accessories, decoration and fashion among others, although among the hundreds of luxury items that you can find, Borsalino and Panama hats are the most popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bear in mind when parking that this market is located in a typical housing estate and that this is one of the more crowded by what we recommend that either you go early in order to not have problems when parking or go directly taking a stroll or by taxi since currently no bus line reaches this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We point out that parking is difficult by what we recommend that you leave your vehicle in the Saba public car park also known as the one of Plaza Antonio Banderas. While its rates are not cheap, the first half hour costs a little more and then the price per minute lowers depending on the time of parking. There are special rates for mornings, afternoons, nights or if you wish to park your car for more than one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
