Shopping in Malaga

Shopping in Málaga offers everything from markets to modern malls.

Key areas: 

Smart pedestrianised Calle Marqués de Larios is Málaga's main shopping street, lined with chic national and international brand name stores. Málaga is also known for its ceramics - try Alfajar, Calle Cister 13, for modern and traditional pieces.

Markets: 

For the freshest food (and a small selection of crafts) in robust atmospheric surroundings, visit the daily market, Mercado Atarazanas, once a Moorish ship repair yard and still boasting an original horseshoe archway.

Shopping centres: 

You can find more of the same under one roof at the Málaga branch of El Corte Inglés, Avenida Andalucía 4-6, which also has a good supermarket, handy for speciality food souvenirs.

Opening hours: 

Traditional shop opening times are Monday to Saturday 1000-1400 and around 1700-2000 but several shops remain open throughout the siesta.
