If we go to the Promenade and Antonio Machado Avenue, the shops appear with everything needed to enjoy the best beaches in Benalmádena, from games to swimsuits and accessories. There are a large number of shops in this area that we could imagine as a great boulevard of leisure and shopping.
Continuing along the coast, we talk about other sales forms in the area; markets. On Avenida de Gandhi, specifically at the La Paloma Fairgrounds, next to the Paloma Park and Selwo Marina, the Benalmádena Market takes place.
Antiques, second-hand items, and plenty of crafts gather every Wednesday from 9 AM to 2 PM.
And although they are not shops, we must also remember that on the first and third Sunday of each month, at the same time, the ecological market is organized in the same place. This market is packed with the flavors of Málaga, featuring vegetables, fruits, and other products from the Guadalhorce Valley.
