There are two markets in Estepona centre. The Wednesday market ("el rastro" as is known by locals) is held in the Avenida Puerta del Mar, this Avenue starts at the Port roundabout and ends on the big roundabout of Juan Carlos I at the entrance of the warehouses area. This is the main street market, so you can find a large variety of things there: from fruit and vegetables till hand crafts and clothes. There are some "friendly parking areas" nearby, I point some of them on the image below. (click the image to enlarge)
The Sunday market is held in the Port area. This one is smaller (and a little more expensive as its clearly prepare for the tourists), but on this one you can find more quality: paintings, decoration stuff, hand made clothes and hats, etc. You can use the same parking areas, as there is not big distance between both markets. Both of them are in the morning until noon.
Sabinillas Sunday Flea Market:
On Sunday is the famous Sabinillas 'Rastro' or flea market. It is located on the New Fair Ground on the Rio Manilva Road just up from the Lidl roundabout. (GPS: 36.3764450, -5.2331070)
There you can find a total of 287 "shops", of which most are second hand, antiques, crafts, decoration, etc. and a minority dedicated to the professional market, textile, footwear, fruits and vegetables, jewellery.
The fairground has 900 parking spaces. In addition about 200 meters from the exhibition there is another parking area with 700 spaces.
Although there is police control to avoid pickpockets, it never hurts to keep our bags and wallets under control. It is also recommendable not to bring valuable documentation (passports, credit cards that you don't need). As it is a public and crowded areas this things could happen.
