En toda la ciudad, en diversos días y normalmente una vez a la semana en cada barrio hay mercadillos que venden diferentes cosas, desde alimentos como frutas hasta manualidades, artesanías de todo tipo y ropa.
La ciudad está así organizada, el mercadillo de un barrio, por ejemplo, abre todos los miércoles y en otro barrio todos los martes. Pero este mercado es diferente y especial. Se trata de un mercado, pero solamente de artesanías.
Está abierto cada primer domingo de cada mes y la verdad que se puede disfrutar de arte y artesanías de excelente calidad y variedad. Hay una amplitud de horario bastante grande en la que se puede visitar desde las 11 de la mañana hasta las 19 hs. Y si en invierno es un día soleado mucho mejor.
All over the city, on different days and usually once a week in every neighbourhood there are markets selling different things, from food and fruit to handicrafts, handicrafts of all kinds and clothes.
The city is organised in this way, the market in one neighbourhood, for example, is open every Wednesday and in another neighbourhood every Tuesday. But this market is different and special. It is a market, but only for handicrafts.
It is open every first Sunday of the month and the truth is that you can enjoy art and crafts of excellent quality and variety. The opening hours are quite long and you can visit the market from 11 am to 7 pm, and if it is a sunny day in winter it is even better.

Ayer fue el primer domingo del mes de febrero, por lo que me encaminé hacía el mercadillo, comenzando por mostrarles la facha del hermoso Teatro Cervantes, luego caminé por una callecita donde los edificios son tan altos que nunca llega el sol y al terminar esa calle pude ver a la plaza que contenía al mercadillo.
Lo característico de la plaza es el gran monumento que se encuentra en el centro de la misma y alrededor del mismo es que se sitúan la gran cantidad de stands con forma de carpas en una o dos hileras. Lo que puedo observar es que con el correr del tiempo cada vez son más los artesanos que están allí ese día especial.
No iba hace mucho tiempo, creo que han pasado más de dos años que fui por última vez al mercadillo y lo vi muy cambiado, para mejor. Sólo había un puesto de ropa y era todo de ropa blanca pintada, verdaderamente artesanal.
Yesterday was the first Sunday of the month of February, so I went to the flea market, starting by showing you the face of the beautiful Teatro Cervantes, then I walked down a small street where the buildings are so high that the sun never reaches them and at the end of the street I could see the square that contained the flea market.
The characteristic feature of the square is the large monument in the centre of the square and around it is the large number of marquee-shaped stands in one or two rows. What I can observe is that as time goes by more and more artisans are there on this special day.
I haven't been there for a long time, I think it's been more than two years since I last went to the market and I saw it changed a lot, for the better. There was only one clothing stall and it was all painted linen, truly handmade.

Podía ver desde tablas de madera pintada, muñecos tejidos, bisutería, también aretes, pulseras, colgantes de plata y otros materiales, todo de excelente calidad.
El día estaba soleado y era ideal para poder recorrer cada uno de los puestos admirando esas artesanías. Además, me sorprendía la cantidad de gente, mirando y comprando. En este mercadillo vale la pena, la calidad de los productos es asombrosa, además del grado de detalle que hay en esas artesanías.
También pude observar platos pintados, en diferentes materiales. Otros no eran pintados, pero sí de muchos colores. Había decoraciones para el hogar, pero también ciertos artículos que nunca había visto en ninguna otra parte como estos muñecos tan graciosos.
Como les comento, los puestos estaban dispuestos como en una especie de galería, alrededor del gran monumento, y di vueltas dos veces por ellos, porque a veces había tanta gente en uno que no podía observar bien los artículos. Además, siempre me gusta mirar los alrededores.
You could see everything from painted wooden boards, woven dolls, costume jewellery, also earrings, bracelets, silver pendants and other materials, all of excellent quality.
The day was sunny and it was ideal to be able to walk around each of the stalls admiring these handicrafts. Besides, I was surprised by the amount of people, looking and buying. The quality of the products is amazing, as well as the level of detail in the handicrafts.
I could also see painted plates, in different materials. Others were not painted, but in many colours. There were decorations for the home, but also certain items that I had never seen anywhere else, such as these funny dolls.
As I said, the stalls were arranged in a sort of gallery around the big monument, and I walked around them twice, because sometimes there were so many people in one stall that I couldn't see the items properly. Besides, I always like to look around.

Este puesto tenía unos bolsos muy hermosos y muchos otros productos, me encantó los colores, las terminaciones, lo bien presentado y la gran variedad.
No compré nada en esta oportunidad, pero si miré bien cada lugar para ver si encontraba algo que me gustara mucho. No soy de hacer compras sin necesidad, pero me gustan mucho los aretes y los anillos, por lo que ya imaginarán donde irá la compra que pueda hacer tal vez el primer domingo del mes que viene.
Los productos que son hechos en madera, también me gustan mucho, la madera es calidez, debe ser por eso y porque es hermoso material para trabajar artesanías y para pintar. Había muchos puestos que tenían cositas de madera y eso me gustó mucho.
También llamó mi atención stands de carteles pintados y de una especie de cuadros muy originales en su forma y estilo, tanto es así que no me di cuenta hasta que miré las fotografías, que pasé por allí dos veces y las dos veces le tomé fotos. Se nota me gustó bastante.
This stall had some very beautiful bags and many other products, I loved the colours, the finishes, how well presented and the great variety.
I didn't buy anything this time, but I did look around to see if I could find something I really liked. I'm not one to make purchases unnecessarily, but I really like earrings and rings, so you can imagine where I'll be shopping next month, maybe on the first Sunday of next month.
The products that are made of wood, I also like a lot, wood is warmth, it must be because of that and because it is a beautiful material to work with and to paint. There were many stalls with little things made of wood and I liked that a lot.
I also noticed stands with painted posters and a kind of painting that was very original in its shape and style, so much so that I didn't realise until I looked at the photographs, that I passed by twice and both times I took pictures of it. You can tell I liked it a lot.

Mientras recorría el lugar escuchaba muchos idiomas, por lo que la cantidad de turistas era bastante y se entremezclaban con la gente de aquí, es lindo ver eso. Al estar tan cerca del centro histórico, sólo a un cruce de calle, y por el otro lado una calle llena de restaurantes, lo hace un lugar ideal para el encuentro de la gente, pero también para el comercio como es este el caso.
Fue una tarde hermosa, con un recorrido muy artístico, como me gustan, además de disfrutar del sol la gente y las buenas vistas. Creo que muchos esperan el primer domingo de cada mes, se convierte así en un lugar de paseo ideal y forma parte de la vida.
Gracias a todos por acompañarme a este hermoso encuentro de arte, calidad, estilo y buenos productos. Les envío un gran saludo. Hasta pronto.

As I walked around the place I heard many languages, so the amount of tourists was quite a lot and they intermingled with the locals, it's nice to see that. Being so close to the historic centre, just one street crossing away, and on the other side a street full of restaurants, makes it an ideal place for meeting people, but also for commerce as is the case here.
It was a beautiful afternoon, with a very artistic route, as I like them, as well as enjoying the sun, the people and the good views. I think many people look forward to the first Sunday of every month, it becomes an ideal place for a stroll and a part of life.
Thank you all for joining me in this beautiful meeting of art, quality, style and good products. I send you my best regards. See you soon.

Thank you for this tour @avdesing. I start, that façade of the Cervantes Theater looks spectacular to me Teatro Cervantes. Then the flea market looks like a nice and entertaining place to walk among the stalls. I really liked the cups, bowls, plates, vases and that ceramic butterfly.
I just heard that it rained torrentially in Málga, hope you are well.
That theatre is beautiful, I've never been there yet, I'm not really into theatre hahaha, I'm more into cinema.
The flea market is beautiful and I especially liked the butterfly. Thank you very much!
There are some affected areas but where I am everything is normal, a normal rain and it was at night and some in the morning. Thank you very much!
Ess butterfly is beautiful. About the rains, glad to hear you are doing well. I guess your mom is doing better.
And, again, thanks to you. See you tomorrow 👋, I'm still tired 😩 🤣.
Mamá esta mejor, pero igual aún se cuida, esta resentido el tobillo...

I'm not surprised that you found many tourists, given that your city is beautiful and very interesting to visit
I love this type of fairs
Thank you very much dear friend @avdesing for sharing these beautiful shots
I love them too, there are always beautiful things to see... and buy hahaha thanks!🤗
Que bonito lugar, me encantó como se ve todo!
Está muy lindo para recorrer y ver artesanías hermosas! Gracias por tu visita!🤗
This kind of walk, admiring the creations of the artisans, is usually very entertaining. The woven dolls are very beautiful and very well made. There is a unicorn with a colourful, tousled mane that caught my eye. I went to where they sell the wooden boxes and bought the blue one that says ‘Imagine’. I think it's to put the tea bags in?
I love that people choose something from everything I've brought... I sell everything... ahhh no no I don't sell anything hahaha
Yes I saw that colourful beauty, I know you love them and the little boxes were lovely, only there's post I don't want to take close up pictures hahaha... imagine me love it!🤗
Have a nice week 😉 and yes, stay away from temptations because if one has bigger plans, temptations abound to test you hahaha.
What temptations? What do I stay away from? hahahaha
🙂 far from the table you told me you can't go and photograph... or did I dream it?
jajaja no podía fotografiar de cerca porque algunos dueños de puesto no les gusta jajaja
😂 ah, y yo pensando que era porque te daba por comprar compulsivamente...
Muy hermoso, estas actividades son muy bonitas, a mi si me gustaría asistir a sitios así, aquí hay mercados pero que va jaja, nada como eso, lindas fotos amiga, saludos.
Creo que este es uno de los dos que más me gustan de la ciudad, espero poder ir pronto al segundo, es genial. Los demás tienes alimentos y esas cosas. Muchas gracias!🤗
De malede plader Jeg holder meget af et loppemarked, der udstiller en masse produkter, og sandheden er, at der er en masse variation.
I almost died.... couldn't translate and it was Danish language! Translator error. I also really liked the painted plates, it's great to see so many products! Thank you!🤗
