There are two big market days in Benalmadena. One on Wednesday at the car park beside the Parque La Paloma (Park of the Doves), and one on Friday at the Tivoli World car park in the town center, behind the train station. The one on Wednesday is a second hand good market. The one on Friday has everything from fruit and vegetables, candies, potteries, handbags, shoes, clothing, hats, potted plants.... Both are very popular with locals and tourists as one can find good bargains here.
I am not really looking to buy anything, nor am I a fan of crowds. But I am on holiday, and for want of something to do, and to give myself a different route of walking exercise, I thought I would have a stroll, a mingle with the crowd at the Friday market, and see if I can take in the feel of the atmosphere. Something different. Anyhow, holidays are coming to an end and this will most likely be my last visit to the market – for this year anyway.
I always have my phone camera with me when I go on my walks, so that I can take a picture of anything I find interesting. But with a busy market like this, you can constantly pointing the camera in somebody's face. Not very nice. So, I didn't take many pictures. Some of them didn't turn out well at all because they were furtive shots, plus with the bright sunshine, I can't see anything on the screen. Hence it's a quick point and shoot, and most didn't turn out well. Anyhow, here are some pictures of the market, some of which are from my earlier visit.
The view from the hilltop. It is a big market.
