Plaza Mayor Malaga - Calahonda Private Apartment To Rent

A new concept of the traditional shopping centre has arrived in Malaga. This is the Plaza Mayor, the biggest shopping and entertainment centre in the province of Malaga, situated between Malaga City and Torremolinos. In fact, it is more an entertainment centre than a shopping centre, in that it offers something for everybody right through the day. There is a gymnasium that opens at seven in the morning, gift shops, bars and restaurants with both local and international cuisine, and finally there are the cinemas and discotheques that remain open during the weekends until the early hours of the morning.

The complex, which occupies 23,000 square metres of surface area, surrounds a huge plaza with buildings in the traditional style. There are different designs and cultural styles here, with small shops and businesses along the small avenues that radiate from the centre. Background music comes from sensors in the ground itself, and the shopping, restaurant and entertainment areas are conveniently separated.

One could take a stroll down the shopping avenue, named calle del Zoco, where one will find many different shops selling perfumes, clothes, complements and so on. And while the parents are shopping, the children can enjoy the facilities in the Plaza del Agua or the entertainment centre in Palza Brava, where they will find billiards, recreational machines and other ways to have a good time.

visits, to the numerous tapas bars in the area. And for lunch, there is a very wide choice indeed, with everything from Italian cuisine to Turkish, Oriental and typically Spanish. One can relax after the meal with a visit to one of the 20 cinemas in the centre.

The Plaza mayor changes radically as night falls. Now it becomes a place of coloured lights and music, and it mostly happens in and around the Plaza Brava. This is the place for young people and the young at heart, and the bars remain open until three in the morning.
