There is nothing like wandering around the streets of Málaga while going shopping. The city offers multiple options to go shopping in the open air and enjoy the scenery. From international brands and firms to small local shops, craft and gastronomy shops, street markets... These are some of the options for shopping in Málaga.

The old town: the largest shopping area in Málaga

The old town of Málaga is the largest shopping area in the city. This area is home to more than a thousand shops that can be found among museums and historical tourist attractions.

In addition, this area has pedestrianised most of its streets, which makes shopping even more comfortable.

As Calle Larios is the main street, it is surrounded by all kinds of shops: from shops selling brand clothing and art galleries to craft establishments and souvenir shops.

Muelle Uno: the perfect shopping experience by the sea

On the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, there is a place where shopping becomes a complete experience. Muelle Uno, located in the Port of Málaga, is bursting with shops selling top brands, accessories and even shops that smell of glory. In addition to all this, there are numerous restaurants where you recharge your batteries.

Furthermore, this place hosts the 'Zoco Muelle Uno' on Sundays and special markets depending on the time of year: summer, Christmas...

Street markets: craftwork in Málaga's neighbourhoods

In addition to Muelle Uno, Málaga has other street markets that are held on different Sundays of the month, from 11am to 7pm.
