Municipal support aims to boost market activity

Commerce funding from Marbella Council is behind the initiative to energise the Mercado Central and introduce its traders to a wider audience. The format successfully mixes dining with leisure in one convenient central spot. Visitors will receive direct access to quality produce and creative preparations from long-standing businesses operating inside the historic market building.

Practical information helps visitors plan their trip

Tickets operate on a pay-as-you-go basis with the €3.50 deal available across all participating stands. Guests choose their preferred drink and matching tapa at each location while enjoying the musical backdrop.
