A night walk in Malaga and the city centre

Calle Larios

This iconic pedestrian street is the commercial epicentre of Malaga, even at night, when its shops close to make way for its bars and restaurants, which come alive with a vibrant and sophisticated atmosphere.

The Soho

Known as the arts district, the Soho area is home to fascinating street art murals as you take in the vibrant nightlife, bars and small live music venues. One of the most visited is La Fábrica de Cruzcampo, where beer lovers can enjoy up to 9 different Cruzcampo craft beers, accompanied by a unique gastronomic offer and atmosphere.

The cathedral, known as ‘La Manquita’ (the one-armed) because of its unfinished tower, one of the city’s most emblematic monuments, becomes a quiet place to stroll and admire at night.
