Puerta de las Atarazanas, Moorish entrance gate and marketplace in Centro, Spain
The market features three distinct sections for fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat products, with cast iron elements integrated into its architectural design.
The structure originated as a Nasrid shipyard in the 14th century before being transformed into a marketplace by architect Joaquín Rucoba in 1870.
Local vendors maintain family-run stalls through generations, offering regional products like boquerones en vinagre, zurrapa, and locally produced goat cheese.
The market operates from Monday through Saturday between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, with the fish section remaining closed on Mondays.
The original Moorish gateway, which once opened directly to the Mediterranean Sea, now serves as the main entrance to this central market.

Between the Mediterranean and the Andalusian hills, Malaga blends southern warmth with a thousand-year history. Birthplace of Picasso, it combines Moorish fortresses, Renaissance churches, orange-scented alleys, and avant-garde museums. The Alcazaba overlooks the city from its Moorish walls, the Roman theater recalls its origins, and the Cathedral of the Incarnation connects the centuries. Along the port, the Pompidou Center, contemporary galleries, and subtropical gardens revitalize Andalusian modernity. The stroll is slow, between white light and warm shadows, from the Atarazanas market to the views of Gibralfaro. Malaga is no longer just a seaside stopover: it is a city to explore, to see, and to feel.
