Malaga

Calle Larios is one of Malaga’s main shopping streets — pedestrianised, elegant, and lined with stylish boutiques and big-name brands beneath grand neoclassical facades. Just around the corner, Calle Nueva offers a more laid-back shopping experience with a mix of international chains and local shops, ideal for souvenirs, clothing, or homewares. Both streets are car-free, making for easy, unhurried strolling — and when it’s time for a break, cafés and terraces spill onto the pavement, perfect for people-watching with a drink in hand.

Spain's department store colossus is both loved and hated, but it successfully performs the main task of a department store, which is to offer most things to most people. Designer fashions, their own low and medium-priced lines, enormous perfumery and make-up departments, accessories, toys, children's and baby's clothes, art materials, souvenirs, food and delicatessen, household furniture and decorations, electrical goods, books, and a range of services can be found here.

Housed in a railway station, Vialia Centro Comercial is a modern shopping mall featuring a variety of shops, restaurants, a casino, and a cinema.

Just 15 minutes from Malaga's city centre and right next to Plaza Mayor, Designer Outlet Malaga is an open-air complex featuring big-brand shopping with serious discounts — often up to 70% off. You'll find everything from international fashion houses like Hugo Boss, Karl Lagerfeld, and Calvin Klein to sportswear staples like Adidas and Nike. There’s also a handful of cafés and restaurants to refuel between finds.
