Get to Know the Market
A little background
he origins of the Cortijo de Torres Street Market date back to the last decades of the 19th century, when farmers and craftsmen from the region would travel to the city of Málaga to trade and sell their goods. As in so many other municipalities in Málaga, street vending emerged in tandem with the agricultural calendar and livestock fairs, establishing itself over the generations as one of the town’s most important social and economic gatherings.
With the arrival of the 20th century and the economic transformation of rural areas, Málaga’s weekly street market evolved: it gave way to large textile and footwear stalls, incorporated vendors from other provinces, and became professionalized under municipal regulations. Many of today’s market traders are third- or fourth-generation members of families that have been attending this event for decades, maintaining a direct link to the city’s commercial fabric.
Today, the Cortijo de Torres Street Market retains that down-to-earth essence while adapting to new trends: organic products, contemporary crafts, local cuisine, and a close relationship with consumers that large shopping centers cannot offer. The town council and the vendors’ association work together to preserve its traditional character in the very heart of Málaga.
