Shopping

The Fuengirola market is held in the Fair Ground in the town centre. The Tuesday market is a normal street market, very big. The Saturday market is a secondhand market, the biggest on the Costa del Sol, and great for finding odd stuff and souvenirs. Both markets close about 14:00 (2 pm). Be careful of pickpockets!
