Best shopping center in the area! Aside from clothing and shoes, there is an Apple Store and a…read moreSamsung Store. There are also all the cell phone providers (Vodafone, Orange, Movistar). There is a movie theater, candy shop and multiple places to get ice cream and tapas. There is also a grocery/everything store. The clothing stores seem to compete with their sales, which is good for visitors. Currently, the American clothing store, Hollister, has 30% off. When I was here for June and July, Massimo Duitti had 50% off as did Springfield and several others. Of any of the malls in the Tarifa/Marbella/Malaga corridor, this is the only one which literally has everything. The parking lot can be full, so do not hesitate to park in the garage. It is free, clean and well lighted. Additionally, the restrooms are kept very clean and pleasant. Highly recommended for an afternoon of shopping.

Exceptional service and a stunning atmosphere make this a top-tier choice…read more The ambiance is beautiful, everything feels high quality and very spacious. It's definitely a "dress up" kind of place. The menu is creative and delicious. The spicy guacamole was amazing, and the seabass is an absolute must try! The only minor letdown was the grilled artichoke, which was just OK and quite small. I would just go with their starred menu items. Service is truly exceptional. Just be prepared for high prices to match the experience. There is parking right behind it as well.

We came here on a Saturday after going to the Day market. There was a 30 min wait to get in. When…read morewe finally sat down, service was extremely slow. Drinks were good. Apps were good. Bartender wasn't the friendliest. We asked for a plastic cup with a lid for my one year old. I couldn't get the lid on and neither could he. He said "do you really need it?" Which I thought was rude. We had to basically beg to order drinks bc it was so slow.

There is this newly opened food court on Corte's top floor that is not exactly your average mall…read morefood court & its a bit on the higher side so we thought we try this Chinese restaurant. They have a menu with lots of options including big dimsum variety but I think one of the worst dishes on that menu was unfortunately what we ordered! Which was crispy noodle with the prawns. It was first time I was served noodles right out of the bag whiteout any boiling/ heating/ frying! And then on top the warm shrimp with the sauce & vegetable was served! Whatever you do, do NOT order this one! They have a popular dish ( the crispy duck) that was fairly good though. It's served with sauce, veg & pancake & you make your own wrap. It was interesting to try. The prices are really reasonable I must add. Staff? Not the friendliest I have seen!

A MUST visit on Saturday morning...is the Fuengirola flea market. A visitor can literally find…read moreeverything here. There is art from Africa, Berber woven rugs and blankets, pottery and baskets from Morocco, hand made brass cow bells, piles of old cell phones, heaps of indistinguishable clothes, motorcycle gear, military collectibles, coins, watches, lots of silver jewelry, roasted chestnuts, fresh vegetables and fruit. Today, even a kitchen sink was offered! The patrons range from Moroccans, British tourists on holiday to locals looking for a bargain. There are multiple places at the perimeter to have a snack and a cool drink. There are local musicians playing. Luckily, the only lookie-lookie guys congregate in one center spot around a guitar monument and do not harass passers by. As with all gatherings of a mix of visitors, it's wise to keep your money and passport in your front pocket. Earlier on, it is possible to walk without rubbing against others, but by noon, you are shoulder to shoulder. The biggest problem is securing a parking space. It is impossible to park on the main street and the little narrow side ones fill quickly. The fairgrounds has its own free parking lot. It fills quickly, but cars come and go & it is possible to wait and secure a parking spot. Be sure to put all valuables and packages in your car trunk and lock your car. This is a great fun way to spend a couple hours on a Saturday morning!

Wow what a disappointment after going to many other markets of this nature in Europe. OK it was…read moreMonday so most of the stalls were closed since many sold fish and they don't fish on Sundays but even then there were less than a dozen others that were open for business and no customers were present at nine in the morning. We also learned that the big flea market which includes vendors selling produce happens on Monday's east of old town so maybe this explains how dead this place was... We did got the Monday Flea Market - that was very good. Skip.

One of my favourite things to do on holiday is to sample the local markets. That's where you get…read morethe authentic local experience This market is located a very short walk from the Old Town and full of locals. So much so that very little English is spoken in the market. However, a friendly smile, lots of gesturing and odd commonly understood word went a long way! It's a mixed market selling things like kitchen knives but mainly concentrating on food. Perhaps unsurprisingly for a seaside town, my favourite stalls were the seafood stalls piled high with giant clams and fresh tuna There were also meat stalls and colourful vegetable stalls as well as purveyors of spice and cheese I left with some local payoyo cheese to take home from Marbella as a yummy reminder of my holiday

I search out the Mercados when I travel…read more Malaga's huge market will not disappoint. Spend a couple of hours with the locals, just don't get in their way, exploring all the fabulous food the south of Spain has to offer. The Ratatouille in me is always in cheese heaven. SO many varieties of goat, sheep and cows cheese to choose from. I will never get through all of them. The incredible fresh seafood, many still gasping from their very recent plucking from their watery home. Vegetables so unbelievably fresh and beautiful. Spices. They were my main purchase this day. Why bother to fix true Spanish dishes unless you have a great selection of the appropriate spices. Spain, all the devine jamòn. Legs of various aging just waiting to be sliced just for you. Fresh meats that will have your head spinning- I don't know what to cook first. When traveling always check out the local market. Many stalls will offer samples to try. Other have items that can be prepared to travel home with. Some purchases just may not make it out the door they are so delicious. One last tip- go early in the morning 7-8 am for the best selection. And most markets close around 2 pm.

I wish I could have spent more time here and I also wish that I had rented a house with a full kitchen so I could buy the seafood and cook it up myself. Not a huge place, but it has everything that you'd need including a stall that sold all types of olive skewers with different pickles. Love me some acietes!

Fruit/veg market by day, bars and food by night…read more When it opens as a fruit/veg market, there isn't too much here. But it's close by home and has what I need. At night you have a bunch of little eateries which is perfect if you want to try many different nibbles. The market is a mix of tourists and locals alike. I really like the vibe here.
