Hi all 👋🏻
For my next post in your community this Friday for the #MarketFriday by @dswigle - Denise. I will take you along on my business trip to Málaga in sunny southern Spain 🇪🇸 ☀️
I just returned home so all photos are still fresh 😉
I went out for lunch and came past the covered market in Málaga city and thought: THAT’S IT.
Ataranzanas Central Market ~ Mercado Central de Atarazanas!
You have to see this market and I have a little time to take some photographs. Let me show you around and give you the prices of produce, meat, fish and many more things.
‼️If you want to know more about #MarketFriday’s have a look At this post about it from @dswigle you find also the rules what to post.
So today is 03 June 2022. All photographs are taken with my iPhone. 😊
The Market is located on Google maps at the yellow star ⭐️: in the centre of Málaga, Spain 🇪🇸
More information about it can be found In the following website!
It states:
”The Atarazanas market is in the place where the Nasrid shipyards stood until the 14th Century and which, after the Christian conquest of the city, were used for storage and as an arsenal, military hospital and barracks.
In 1868, the Revolutionary Council applied for their demolition to give work "to the poorer classes," although this did not take place until 1870. That year, the municipal architect Joaquín Rucoba won approval for a new market to be built on the site that, subsequently, was known as Alfonso XII Market.
Thanks to the intercession of the Academia de Bellas Artes de San Telmo (San Telmo's Academy of Fine Arts), the ancient monumental door of the old shipyards was saved and transferred to the centre of the main façade of the new building, which, in an exercise in accordance with the pre-existing work, Rucoba designed in neo-Arab style, although using a great deal of glass and iron.
This ensured that, although almost all of the old Muslim construction disappeared, Málaga was given a suitable and necessary market building and one of the city's best examples of 19th century architecture. The market opened its doors to the public in 1879. The building was renovated between 2008 and 2010, in order to recover its original design.”
Next, I needed to know this first…
To see how much $10 US dollar is in EUROS.
I looked at xe.com and took the following screenshot:
Source.
So it would give me €9.32 euros, as I live in Spain.
AS….. 🤓 I had done a similar post already with this topic.
How much groceries I could buy in 2 different supermarkets (a cheaper and a more expensive one) in South Spain for 10 HBD.
I didn’t want to repeat myself now… and made this post different, with a twist at the end hahaha 😋
To see this post click: The value of HBD in 2 South Spanish Supermarkets 🇪🇸
The outside facade and the glass stained window: 🥰
I walked quickly to a side entrance and this was my view.
Through the market on the other side we see the stained window the text from the website refers to. How wonderful 🥰
A little bit more from the side of the building.
I sneaked in an earlier photo of mine from a little while ago 3 February 2022. Less busy… 😉
Now let’s go inside… you must think by now… ; show me 🤓😎
I walk past the vegetables, fruits and spices first.
This time… we see prices in this covered market. Remember my post from Sevilla Market. It didn’t have prices.
These are euros for a kilo of produce.
What I see right away, they are quite good prices and lower than the ones where I live. About an hour and a half drive away… 😉
Watermelon €2,50 euros for a kilo is not bad at all.
Some more fruits… nicely presented.
The avocados are so cheap here, just €2,95 euros for a kilo. My area is €4,50 euros for a kilo of avocados 🥑 (wished I lived closer by)
Dried fruits… they are expensive.
Like the cranberries €3,50 euros for 1/4 kilo.
A bigger view while I wander through the aisles.
Another fruit and vegetable vendor.
Herbs and spices…
1 roll of laurel /bay leaves €1 euros, curry madras €3,75 euros for 1/4 kilo, little box of dried chillis €1 euros.
Let’s look at the meat next…
The aisles are less busy here and not many stalls are open.
Hamburgers /beef you could get for €12,95 a kilo.
I walk further and see the stained window from the inside.
Let’s take a few photographs:
Closer by.
Next I reach the Fish section:
This vendor’s products look really nice and fresh.
You can get Rosada (a pink fish similar to cod) for €14,90 a kilo, cooked octopus €39,90 a kilo, meiluta roe €16 euros a kilo, squid for €25,99 a kilo.
Next stall.
The doradas - sea bream you get for €18,90 a kilo.
Next stall has some boquerones fresco - fresh anchovies for €3 euros a kilo
We see also shell fish and other delicacies but no prices. 😎
I pass by…
Some pastry… the chocolate brownie looks great for €1,20 euros 🥰
But o my… I see the time… I have to go back quickly 🤓😉💃🏻 Off I go.
Passing the terraces on the outside:
But wait… my post doesn’t end here 😉😁
After I finished my business meetings, hubby picked me up and we went to the port, where he had parked. 😎
We couldn’t go without buying something special… 🤩 nope we sure couldn’t go yet.
So what did we do next?
As it was rather warm and sunny today, 26 degrees Celsius we went and got some…
Tadaaaaa 🤩
Ice cream 🍨 I chose this one 🥰🥰🥰 of course chocolate ice cream and rocher and white kinder chocolate ice cream and nuts and whipped cream and and and hahaha a cookie 🍪 😉🥰
View… of the ice creams.
To the right of me the view towards Málaga centre. Behind the park 🌴🌳🌴🌳🌴
View left.
In front of me the port: Muelle Uno of Málaga.
The bill:
See… chocoadict yep that’s me hahaha 🤣 😎😉💃🏻
I spend €8,80 euros, what is about $9,43 US dollars.
So I came very close to $10 dollars Denise asked us. 😎😉😁 hope this will do 🤓
On the way to the parking… we saw this ice cream. 🤣😂
And some cute recycling bins for glass:
Getting the younger generation enthusiastic 🤩
Very cool… 😎

!pinmapple 36.718570 lat -4.424053 long “Market Friday” ~ Today in MÁLAGA, Spain 🇪🇸 And how I spend $10,- d3scr
I love those types of indoor markets. They're fun even just to look at the different foods.
Ice cream is a good choice to spend your money on. I often get Rocher as well, usually with Amerena (not sure if that is the correct spelling). I've seen kinder a lot but have never tried it myself. Maybe next time :)
Yes, when we visit a place that has a covered market we always go and wander around. They are fun to explore, even if we wouldn’t buy anything.
It is, especially after a long warm day 😉🍨 yes, the one with cherry. Love that one too. When they don’t have many choices it will be that.
The kinder is like the Kinder bueno, very popular here. In milk chocolate or white. It originates from Germany.
Hope you see it one day and try 😉
Thanks for visiting @leaky20 have an awesome Saturday 👋🏻😎
Thanks for taking us to this lovely virtual tour of your Market. I loved its stained window design.
My brain was converting each price as I scroll down. Hehe. It is not too far from the prices here in the UAE. 1 EUR = AED 3.94.
You are so welcome @arrliinn 😁 yes that window is something special. You see it from afar.
It’s great we can compare the prices with other posts to get a better understanding.
Thanks for visiting, have a wonderful weekend 👋🏻☀️💃🏻
wow!!!! this market looks very impressive!!!! the stained glass window with the boats is amazing!!! I liked these trash cans for glass. ice cream looks delicious!
Thank you so much @tali72 😁
It was delicious… in here is the other post link to the supermarkets… to check out for you. I mentioned in the other comment 😎 you can compare more prices.
Beautiful market with this architecture and stained window... But as I love octopus, I would have bought for 10 euros to make a pulpo al olivo 😋
Great photos, it makes you want to visit a market for all these products.
Thank you so much @heroldius 😁 yes the architecture and window is just stunning.
That sounds delicious, love pulpo. I couldn’t take any fresh products, as we had to still drive a long way back.
I did get yesterday clams and sardines at a local market though. Love fish and shell fish, hubby doesn’t. But he is on a business trip all next week. So I bought a lot of fish hahaha 🤣 so he doesn’t have to eat it.
The weather looks great there and the produce is so tempting! thanks for sharing!
Thanks @mypathtofire it sure is getting warm already.
I was surprised to see the produce was cheaper than where I live. But still a lot of money and 10$ doesn’t go far here 😉
You are welcome, happy to share.
Here I am. Beautiful photos as always. That market looks pretty well stocked and the produce looks so fresh. I love that everything looks so clean and tidy. Not like the messy markets we have in Venezuela, for example. My favorite places in that market would be the fish market and the bakery. But at those prices for seafood, I don't think I would buy much. ha ha ha😂 . I love seafood; however, I don't like those big squids. I have tasted them, they don't taste like anything. In Venezuela, we fish shrimps, octopus, squids of small to medium size. Not like the gigantic ones you show in one of your photos. Those are fished more towards the pacific or atlantic offshore. I know about sea, fish and fishing😂, as you can tell. How beautiful those paintings on the glass and that design of the terrace walls. It always looks Moorish to me.
My blood sugar went up just seeing your ice cream, that chocoadict😂. I would rather have the tarrima, I'm sure. I love vanilla ice cream (It looks like vanilla to me) and hate chocolate ice cream.
Greetings
Thank you so much @francisaponte25 👋🏻😁
It was well stocked this time. I have seen it emptier not that long ago. When even the supermarkets had no products. In March/ April.
Mine is fish and vegetables/ fruits 🥰 the bug squids are used here for calamari fritos. They are cut up in rings, put batter on it and fried. It is amazing… with some ali oli. 🥰 yep I see you know 😉
Yes, the stained window… so beautiful.
Hahaha so the opposite of me than. The medium terrine was cheese cake with vanilla.
I just love chocolate and couldn’t resist my first ice cream of the year to be anything else. Lol 🥰
Thanks for visiting and have a truly wonderful weekend 👋🏻😁
calamares rebosados. That's is what we call them in Venezuela; and guess what, I dont like them. I dont like paying for fried batter. 😂
🤣Los prefiero al ajillo.
I rather have them only with olive oil, garlic and cilantro.
No worries, I understand. Everybody likes other things 😉😁 (it’s more like a small snack)
Yes, with garlic and olive oil… is great too. I like fish and shell fish in general 🥰 but hubby doesn’t. So I have it not often.
Thank you for taking us fr this virtual visit to the market in Malaga.
It is quite expensive, even the price you show in Malaga is a bit expensive. Here avocado when in season you can get it for 0,50 dollars a kilo, out of season about 2 dollars and depending on where you buy it. But other things there are cheaper than here.
The meat here is a bit cheaper, but of course, the wages here don't compare to those over there.
Lovely photos and that ice cream looks so yummy. You've left me craving it.
You are welcome @coquicoin 😁
Yes, so many differences. I wished the avocados 🥑 would be cheaper. Love them 🥰
I understand, every country is so different in wages and prices for food. Sometimes I don’t understand how it can be so different… sigh
Thank you so much… it sure was delicious 🍨 my first of this year. It had to be good… and chocolate 🍫 hahaha lol
Good morning to you 👋🏻☀️😁💃🏻 Have a wonderful day today!
I love avocados too. My brother-in-law is Spanish and when they come on a visit from Spain. He eats so many avocados and mangos here, hehe.
Hope your day is being wonderful 😁💃🏻😊.
I can imagine, they are probably sweeter and much cheaper. Hehe 😉 I had pineapple in Guadeloupe and they were so amazing, it tasted never like that here.
Thank you, yes. A great day today. Hope yours too 💃🏻☀️
Mangos here are delicious! And grow everywhere. In the streets are mangoes trees. ;)
Avocados also grow very well.
That must be a pretty sight, in the streets 😁🥭
Yep, they are :) 🌳🥭😄
Interesting, the post is so complete starting from the price, the type to buy,and see the old market building is still solid. Thank you, like post. Greetings.
Thank you so much @hsidik thats nice to hear.
I like that the building is still so good preserved. They keep up the maintenance well. I just loved the stained glass of the market.
Greetings from Spain 👋🏻☀️
This market is very big and its amazing how you could get those things for just £8-9. I love the photos you took, they explained a lot.
Thank you so much @hopestylist , I didn’t even show it all. It’s truly big.
Glad the photos where helpful and you could have a little insight to prices here in southern Spain.
Enjoy your day 👋🏻😁
