Visiting the Christmas markets on the Costa del Sol is an essential activity during the most endearing holidays of the year. Just browsing among its Christmas stalls, and shopping while immersing yourself in the lively atmosphere, is a pleasant experience that you should not give up.
In these traditional bazaars, located in streets and squares, you will have the opportunity to buy typical products, decorative items, handicrafts or that special gift you were looking for. And of course, you can enjoy the sweet taste of Christmas.
Outdoor shopping at Christmas markets
Among the busiest markets on the Costa del Sol, the one located in the Paseo del Parque market in Malaga stands out. Under the spectacular artistic lighting of the historic center of the city, its stalls offer everything from Christmas decorations and figures for the Nativity Scene, to accessories and handmade jewelry items.
Another unique place to buy products typical of these dates is the Muelle Uno Christmas market, which, next to the Mediterranean and very close to the Malagueta, becomes an ideal leisure alternative for the whole family thanks to its seafaring atmosphere and the variety of craft proposals it offers.
The Torrox market, in the region of Axarquía, is also very popular. While on the Western Costa del Sol, those of Torremolinos, Benalmádena and Fuengirola are worth a visit, all of them with booths dedicated to crafts, Christmas decorations and typical products of these dates. In Marbella, where Christmas is full of cultural activities, several solidarity bazaars are also held.

Charming Christmas markets to experience the magic of Christmas
In Mijas town, the Christmas market is characterised by the privileged environment that welcomes it. Its stalls are distributed in the vicinity of the Plaza de la Constitución, so you can enjoy the traditional atmosphere of the historic center while shopping. A piece of advice? Don't leave without walking through its illuminated white streets.
Something simpler, but very welcoming, is the Gaucín Christmas market. In its stalls you will find products of Malaga's gastronomy, crafts and some other surprises. In addition, shopping is enlivened by festive music, Christmas carols and activities for the entertainment of young and old. The same happens in Humilladero, whose market is installed in the Plaza de los Derechos Humanos and offers a close and very familiar atmosphere.
