Facts and practical information

Calle Marqués de Larios, or simply Calle Larios, is the beating heart of Málaga, Spain, and one of the most emblematic pedestrian thoroughfares in the city. This bustling street, inaugurated in 1891, is named after Manuel Domingo Larios, the 2nd Marquis of Larios, who was instrumental in the development of the textile industry in Málaga.

Stretching for approximately 300 meters, Calle Larios serves as a grand entrance to the historic center, linking the Plaza de la Constitución with the Alameda Principal. It is renowned for its elegant 19th-century architecture, featuring a harmonious blend of neoclassical and modernist buildings, which house high-end shops, boutiques, and well-known international brands, making it a paradise for shoppers and fashion enthusiasts.

The street is not only a commercial hub but also a cultural and social gathering place. During festivals and holidays, Calle Larios transforms into a vibrant stage for decorations and festivities. Notably, during the Malaga Film Festival, it rolls out the red carpet, and during Christmas, it dazzles with spectacular light displays that draw visitors from all over.

Calle Larios's marble-paved walkway, lined with elegant lampposts and benches, offers a delightful promenade experience. It is a favorite spot for both locals and tourists to stroll, meet friends, or simply indulge in the pleasure of people-watching from one of the many street cafés and ice cream parlors.
