Ten places to shop in M\u00e1laga and the surrounding area<\/strong>, sorted by what really matters: whether you\u2019re travelling by car or without one, whether you\u2019re looking for discounted brands, or whether you just want to escape the heat.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\ude87 No car: the three from the city centre<\/h2>\n\n

Vialia, at Mar\u00eda Zambrano station<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Vialia<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The best connected of all, without a doubt:<\/strong> it is inside the station<\/strong>, with AVE, local trains, the underground and buses all in the same building.<\/p>\n

It has fashion, technology, perfumery, a supermarket, a cinema and a hotel.<\/strong> It\u2019s the obvious place to go if you\u2019re arriving or leaving by train and have an hour to spare.<\/p>\n

And one use that almost nobody takes advantage of: this is where the Commuter services to El Chorro<\/strong>, for the Caminito del Rey.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

El Corte Ingl\u00e9s, Avenida de Andaluc\u00eda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"El<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The leading department store<\/strong>, with several departments: fashion, homewares, electronics, perfumery and gourmet food. In terms of floor space, it is the largest shopping centre in the city centre.<\/p>\n

A useful tip if you\u2019re coming with us: Our meeting point is 300 metres away<\/strong>, in 10 Avenida de Andaluc\u00eda<\/strong>. A four-minute walk.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

M\u00e1laga Plaza<\/h3>\n

The most compact of the three<\/strong>, also on Avenida de Andaluc\u00eda. Fashion, services, food and a few places to eat.<\/p>\n

Its advantage lies in its scale:<\/strong> You go in, have a browse, and leave. If you\u2019re walking through the city centre, pop in without it taking up the rest of your afternoon.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83c\udfac By car: the big ones<\/h2>\n\n

Plaza Mayor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Plaza<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is the largest in the metropolitan area<\/strong> and it is outdoors<\/strong>, laid out like a village with pedestrianised streets. Close to the airport.<\/p>\n

Fashion, an outlet area, plenty of places to eat, cinemas and family entertainment.<\/strong> Y free parking<\/strong>, which makes a difference on a day out shopping.<\/p>\n

As it\u2019s open-air, it\u2019s rather uncomfortable at midday in August. It\u2019s better in the afternoon.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s right next to Plaza Mayor<\/strong>, so you can do both at once. It\u2019s the go-to outlet: discounted national and international brands all year round<\/strong>, in an open-air venue.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a brand at a better price<\/strong>, this is the stop, and it\u2019s worth setting aside some time for it.<\/p>\n\n

Larios Centre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Larios<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next to Avenida de la Aurora<\/strong>, near Mar\u00eda Zambrano and just a stone\u2019s throw from the city centre. A closed building with several floors, featuring Primark<\/strong>, technology, supermarkets, cinemas and restaurants.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the most balanced one<\/strong>: You can get there by bus; it has everything you need and you don\u2019t need a car.<\/p>\n\n

La Rosaleda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Rosaleda<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To the north, next to the stadium.<\/strong> It\u2019s one of the city\u2019s classic shopping centres and the one most frequently visited by the people of M\u00e1laga: affordable fashion, a supermarket, electronics and cinemas.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udccd Outside the capital<\/h2>\n

These three are not in M\u00e1laga city<\/strong>, and it is worth bearing this in mind before planning your trip:<\/p>\n
