Both are free to visit and offer an enjoyable way to experience local life on the Costa del Sol.

8. Overall Experience

Whether you're looking for a traditional Spanish market or a more relaxed tourist-friendly shopping experience, Estepona offers both. The Wednesday Market provides an authentic local atmosphere with hundreds of stalls, while the Sunday Marina Market combines shopping with beautiful harbour views, making it one of the most enjoyable market experiences on the Costa del Sol. 

One small correction to your original text: the Wednesday market isn't really "a bit out of town." For SEO and visitor expectations, I'd describe it as "located just north of the town centre" rather than out of town, as that gives a more accurate impression and sounds more positive.
