BENALMÁDENA'S used car Sunday market, launched in April as a monthly event, is set to go weekly following a summer hiatus. 

The town's commerce councillor, Concha Cifrián, announced the move last week at a press conference along with the used-car market operator, Juan Rojas. 

"With the arrival of autumn, the number of sellers and buyers will increase considerably given that in the summer months the heat and the pull of the beach mean people don't have much interest in visiting a street market on Sunday mornings," said the councillor. 

The weekly schedule will begin on September 5 and will run to the end of October as a pilot phase.  "We will study continuing with it depending on the response it receives," said Sra Cifrián.

The car market, at La Paloma park, is open to anyone interested in buying or selling a used car.  Those selling a vehicle must purchase a 10-euro ticket which allows them to display it in the exhibition area. 

The market will run each Sunday from 9am to 4pm.  Organisers arrange for a ‘gestoría' service and representatives from several insurance companies to be present so that sales between private parties can be finalised immediately.
