Almuñécar, the oldest city in the Spanish Mediterranean, has two important markets, the first of which is held every Friday on the Paseo dedicated to the father of the Andalusian homeland, Blas Infante, next to the Puerta de Almuñécar.
The Fair is also held in this same venue and normally serves as free parking, but be careful not to leave your car on market days, which can be removed by the municipal tow truck, every Friday from nine in the morning to two in the morning. late, it is filled with all kinds of stalls.
Just like Istanbul has the Grand Bazaar, Marrakech has the Souk and our Almuñécar has the Friday Market.
