The Costa del Sol, also known as the "Sun Coast," is a coastal region in southern Spain known for its beaches, warm weather, and vibrant outdoor markets. Some popular outdoor markets in the area include the Néstor Market in Fuengirola, the Rastro Market in Málaga, and the Benalmádena Market. These markets typically feature a variety of vendors selling items such as clothing, jewelry, handmade crafts, and local food and produce. They are also a great place to find souvenirs and unique gifts. However, it’s a good idea to check with the tourist information centre to make sure the market is on. All of the outdoor markets are held on the fairgrounds, so if the fair is in town the markets do not operate.
