THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Old Town: the heart of Málaga

Málaga's Old Town boasts the highest concentration of museums, monuments and street life in the entire city. Pedestrian streets like Calle Larios, squares lined with terraces, the Cathedral, the Alcazaba, the Roman Theatre and over a dozen museums are packed into a compact, perfectly walkable area.

It is the neighbourhood with the highest tourist occupancy in Málaga, and for good reason: everything is just steps away. The Picasso Museum occupies the Palacio de Buenavista, the Carmen Thyssen showcases Andalusian painting in the Palacio de Villalón, and every morning the Atarazanas Market offers fresh produce, tapas and the finest stained-glass window in the city.

The nightlife and dining scene in the centre is second to none. From centuries-old bodegas like El Pimpi to signature restaurants tucked away in narrow streets, to rooftop bars with Cathedral views. Every corner hides a terrace or a tapas bar where you can sit back and enjoy the climate.

For travellers, the Old Town is the ideal choice for short stays and cultural immersion. From our apartments you can explore everything on foot: no transport needed. And if you fancy the beach, La Malagueta is a 15-minute walk away.

Michal

2 stays

Unbeatable location right in the heart of the old town. You step out of the apartment and you are surrounded by history, museums and tapas bars. Everything on foot. The apartment was spotless and very well equipped.

Laura

1 stay

Perfect for a cultural getaway. We did the Picasso Museum, the Alcazaba, the Carmen Thyssen and Calle Larios without taking a single taxi. The apartment is modern, clean and has everything you need. We will be back.

Thomas

1 stay

The best apartment we have stayed in in Spain. The location is fantastic, right in the centre but on a quiet street. The WiFi is perfect for working. Manuel is an exceptional host.

Can you park in the Old Town?
Málaga Old Town is mostly pedestrianised, so on-street parking is not available. However, there are several underground public car parks nearby (Plaza de la Marina, Alcazaba, Camas). We will point you to the one closest to your apartment.

Yes. The old town has several supermarkets (Mercadona, Día, Carrefour Express) within a few minutes' walk. In addition, the Atarazanas Market is very close and perfect for buying fresh produce.
