On Saturday, April 19, the Guadalhorce Ecológico market returns to Elviria, offering a spectacular array of certified organic products from the Valle del Guadalhorce.
Founded 17 years ago by smallholder farmers from the Guadalhorce Valley, the collective has grown from humble beginnings to become a firm Costa del Sol fixture, known for its freshly picked, top-quality Km.0 foodstuffs and eye-poppingly massive vegetables. Food shoppers can explore up to 20 stalls brimming with seasonal fruits, vegetables, cheeses, honey, bread, wines, and more, all 100 per cent organic and tastier than anything you will find in a regular supermarket.
There are Finca La Juntilla’s juicy oranges, tomatoes, and greens, cultivated with traditional care in Coín, for example. To celebrate the season, a special tasting of organic mandarins will promote sustainable consumption. Initially focused on Malaga’s inland villages in the Guadalhorce Valley, which was once the Moors breadbasket, the markets found their audience on the Costa del Sol, where diverse locals and expats value their freshness and flavour. ‘Our customers love the quality and authenticity,’ a spokesperson noted. The association, now with 20 producers, hosts eight monthly markets, including Marbella, Benalmádena, and Mijas.
Finca La Juntilla, a family-run farm, exemplifies the group’s ethos. Since 2010, Diego Díaz has grown 35 rotating crops, from spinach to melons, respecting nature’s cycles. Certified organic since 2012, their produce reaches homes across Spain via online orders. Visit the market from 9am to 2pm for a taste of Malaga’s finest organic bounty on Calle Andrés Segovia.
