Málaga markets this November bank holiday weekend: crafts, fashion and collectibles by the sea

The All Saints' Day weekend brings several opportunities to explore craft markets, discover independent businesses and shop for unique gifts across Málaga and the Costa del Sol. Although the market calendar will be slightly quieter than usual as the weekend falls between two months, visitors will still find several interesting options in Málaga city and Fuengirola.

On Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1, 2026, shoppers can explore the Autumn Market at Muelle Uno, browse handmade products and fashion accessories at Plaza de la Merced, or visit Sohail Castle for a major toy and collectors' fair.

Most of these events offer free admission, making them an attractive way to spend the Halloween and All Saints' Day weekend without paying an entrance fee.

Which markets are taking place in Málaga on October 31 and November 1?

This weekend's programme features markets offering everything from handmade crafts and fashion to vintage toys and rare collectibles.

Here are the main events and their scheduled opening hours:

With several markets taking place on Sunday, visitors will have the opportunity to combine different shopping experiences in a single day.

Muelle Uno Autumn Market: shopping and crafts every day until November 9

One of the markets remaining open throughout the bank holiday weekend is the Muelle Uno Autumn Market, located in the Port of Málaga.

The event opened on September 23 and will continue until November 9, 2026, operating daily from 10 am to 10 pm.

Its stalls offer a selection of products including fashion, accessories, jewellery, food and small gift items.

The waterfront setting makes it easy to combine shopping with a walk around the port and enjoy Málaga's maritime atmosphere.

What can you buy at the Autumn Market?

The market features products in different styles and price ranges, appealing to visitors looking for gifts or something unusual for themselves.

The advertised selection includes clothing, accessories, costume jewellery and food products.

One of the market's main advantages is that it operates throughout the week, meaning visitors do not need to wait until Sunday to explore the stalls.

Location: Muelle Uno, Port of Málaga.

Dates: Until November 9, 2026.

Opening hours: Daily, 10 am to 10 pm.

Zoco Maravilla returns to Muelle Uno on Sunday, November 1

Sunday promises to be a particularly lively day at Málaga's waterfront.

Alongside the Autumn Market, Muelle Uno will host another edition of Zoco Maravilla, a market bringing together crafts, fashion, local food products and charitable initiatives.

The event will take place on Sunday, November 1, from 11 am to 7 pm, beneath the shaded walkway at Muelle Uno.

Four areas dedicated to shopping, crafts and food

Zoco Maravilla is organised into different sections, allowing visitors to browse a range of products.

One area focuses on fashion and accessories, while another features handmade crafts, decorative objects and vintage-style items.

The food section includes locally sourced produce, organic products, Iberian cured meats and selected olive oils.

There is also a charitable area providing visibility for social initiatives and organisations.

This variety makes the market suitable for visitors interested in shopping as well as those who simply enjoy exploring stalls and discovering independent producers.

Date: Sunday, November 1, 2026.

Opening hours: 11 am to 7 pm.

Location: Muelle Uno promenade, Port of Málaga.

Admission: Free.

Plaza de la Merced hosts another artisan market on Sunday

Visitors who prefer exploring Málaga's historic centre will also have an option.

Plaza de la Merced will host another edition of La Merced & Co on Sunday, November 1, a market organised by CATs Markets that brings together artisans, designers and independent creators.

The event is scheduled from 11 am to 7 pm in one of Málaga's best-known squares.

Handmade crafts, fashion and accessories in the historic centre

Unlike markets focused mainly on food or second-hand goods, La Merced & Co specialises in creative products and independently designed items.

Typical products include handmade jewellery, clothing, handbags, accessories, illustrations and decorative pieces.

The market also offers an opportunity to discover the work of small designers and independent brands.

Its location, close to Picasso's Birthplace Museum and within walking distance of the Alcazaba, makes it easy to combine shopping with sightseeing.

Date: Sunday, November 1, 2026.

Opening hours: 11 am to 7 pm.

Location: Plaza de la Merced, Málaga.

Organiser: CATs Markets.

Admission: Free.

Fuengirola hosts a major toy and collectors' fair at Sohail Castle

The weekend market programme also includes a major event outside Málaga city.

Sohail Castle in Fuengirola will host the 1st Fuengirola International Toy and Collectors' Fair on Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1.

The event will feature more than 55 exhibitors from Spain and Portugal, according to its organisers, offering visitors the chance to buy, sell and exchange toys, memorabilia and pop culture collectibles.

Admission is free, subject to capacity.

From LEGO and Playmobil to toys from the 1980s and 1990s

Visitors will find vintage toys, collectible figures and products associated with popular brands and characters from different generations.

The selection will include LEGO, Playmobil, Scalextric, Star Wars and Funko Pop, alongside classic dolls, action figures and other collectible items.

Coins, stickers, trading cards and hard-to-find pieces will also feature.

One of the highlights will be an area dedicated to traditional games, where visitors can rediscover classics such as Monopoly, Hungry Hungry Hippos and Parchís.

Children's activities, Halloween entertainment and competitions

The fair will offer more than just buying and selling.

Saturday's programme includes children's workshops, Halloween-themed activities, a costume competition and musical entertainment.

On Sunday, collectors can participate in a sticker and trading card exchange, alongside puzzle and Parchís championships requiring advance registration.

The event is designed for dedicated collectors as well as families looking for something different to do over the weekend.

Dates: Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1, 2026.

Saturday opening hours: 11 am to 9 pm.

Sunday opening hours: 11 am to 8 pm.

Location: Sohail Castle, Fuengirola.

Admission: Free, subject to capacity.

No Guadalhorce Ecológico farmers' markets this weekend

One notable absence from the weekend calendar will be the organic markets organised by Guadalhorce Ecológico.

The association, which connects producers and consumers interested in organic and locally sourced food, has no regular markets scheduled for Saturday, October 31, or Sunday, November 1.

According to its calendar, the next planned events will take place in Elviria on Saturday, November 7, and Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena, on Sunday, November 8, both from 9 am to 2 pm.

Anyone specifically looking for organic fruit, vegetables and other locally produced food will therefore need to wait until these upcoming dates.

The updated schedule can be checked on the Guadalhorce Ecológico website.

How to visit two Málaga markets on the same Sunday

With both Zoco Maravilla at Muelle Uno and La Merced & Co taking place on Sunday, visitors can easily plan a short shopping route through central Málaga.

One option is to start the morning at La Merced & Co, browsing the independent designer and craft stalls before heading through the historic centre towards the port.

From Plaza de la Merced, visitors can walk past the Alcazaba and Calle Alcazabilla, continue through Parque de Málaga and finish at Muelle Uno.

There, both Zoco Maravilla and the Autumn Market will be taking place simultaneously.

This route combines shopping, sightseeing and a walk by the sea, without needing a car to travel between the two markets.

An alternative way to enjoy the All Saints' Day weekend

The market calendar for October 31 and November 1 may be smaller than on other weekends, but it still offers a variety of options for visitors interested in crafts, shopping and independent products.

The Port of Málaga will be one of the busiest locations, with two markets running simultaneously on Sunday, while Plaza de la Merced will once again bring together designers and artisans.

Fuengirola will complete the programme with a toy and collectors' fair combining nostalgia, pop culture and family entertainment.

Handmade crafts, fashion, food and collectibles will take centre stage during a weekend when Málaga's markets offer another way to enjoy the city and the Costa del Sol.
