Everything You Need to Know
A little background
he Ciudad Jardín Market in Málaga was designed by architect Luis Gutiérrez Mérida and built between 1950 and 1953. It is a typical example of postwar Autarkic architecture, featuring a central façade dominated by three semicircular arches and whitewashed exterior walls. When it opened, it had 59 stalls divided into three categories: fish tables in the central area, fruit and vegetable stalls, and other shops.
Throughout its history, the Ciudad Jardín Market has been renovated three times—in 1982, partially in 2003, and again in 2008—until it reached its current configuration with 180 stalls. Today, it remains the only municipal market in Málaga managed directly by its merchants, with local heritage protection and a central role in the commercial life of Málaga’s Ciudad Jardín district.
