CAC Málaga

This guide to CAC Málaga traces the building the city built for its produce market, designed by architects Luis Gutiérrez Soto and Juan Jáuregui Briales, nicknamed Aviación, and raised between 1939 and 1944 on a triangular riverside plot with a stepped roofline meant to flood the trading floor with daylight. You'll hear how buyers relied on that light to judge the color of fruit before haggling, and what happened to the hall after the produce trade moved out in 1981. Picture porters hauling crates of oranges and tomatoes off idling trucks here before dawn.
