Mercado Central de Atarazanas
A 19th-century market with an iron-frame hall, preserving the gate of a Moorish shipyard and huge stained-glass windows. Freshly fried seafood and snacks are on offer.
The Atarazanas Market stands on the site of a Moorish shipyard. Its entrance still keeps the 14th-century Nasrid horseshoe arch, and inside, huge stained-glass windows depict the history of Málaga. The stalls sell seafood, cured ham, olives, dried fruit and seasonal produce. The bars inside will fry anchovies and squid to order to go with a beer. The market opens in the morning Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sundays, and some stalls close in the afternoon.
