Everything You Need to Know
A little background
he Huelin neighborhood of Málaga emerged in the late 19th century, when Eduardo Huelin Reissig, a British-born businessman and engineer involved in the sugarcane industry, promoted the construction of some 500 homes for his workers around 1870, giving rise to the city’s first working-class neighborhood, formerly known as the Palodú slum. For decades, a street market—the precursor to the current market—had been held in this humble, densely populated area.
Málaga’s Huelin Market in its current form dates back to 1974, the year the City Council erected the market building with some 162 stalls to meet the needs of the growing neighborhood. Since then, the Huelin Market has been an essential gathering place for several generations of Málaga residents—a space where daily shopping has always been intertwined with the neighborhood’s social life and the most authentic commercial spirit of Andalusian markets.
