We Love Nerja Market – Creativity, Flavours & Community

Twice a month, Plaza de España in Nerja fills with colour, craftsmanship, and life for the We Love Nerja Market. It’s more than a shopping trip — it’s a meeting place where locals, visitors, artists and foodies come together in celebration of creativity and community spirit.

Dates: Every first and second week of the month · 11.00–22.00. Expect long, lively days filled with handmade treasures, delicious local flavours, and conversations that linger as the sun goes down.

What’s on at the market

Handmade creations
Jewellery, ceramics, art, textiles and all sorts of beautiful pieces from artisans who pour their heart into their work. Each stall has a story — and you’ll often meet the maker behind it.

Local flavours
From honey and oils to sweet treats and savoury bites, the market celebrates the tastes of the Axarquía. Perfect for picking up a gift, or something tasty to enjoy right there.

Live atmosphere
Music drifts across the square, children explore with ice creams in hand, and the square buzzes with laughter and chatter well into the evening.
