"Although its real name is Mercado de Alfonso XII, everyone in Málaga calls it Mercado de Atarazanas. A modernist building designed by the municipal architect Joaquín Rucoba, which followed in the wake of the Paris architecture of the architect Eiffel, but with a clear inclination to honor our Nasrid past. A building built in 1897 on some old Muslim shipyards around which there was an open-air market. Our cultural physician José Mateos has taken us from the 14th century with the sea to the door of the Atarazanas until the remodeling of 2008 showing us the incredible architecture of wrought iron, brick and glazed tiles that form a unique building. When in the next few weeks you visit this market looking for the best food for the Christmas holidays, don't forget to enjoy its stained glass window, its arches and its greenish columns. They will love to shop surrounded by so much beauty."
