Going Out at Night
|
If you like going out at night
Malaga is
the perfect place to be. There are many different types of
establishments, which make it possible for everybody to find something
they like. Spanish nightlife in general starts very late no matter if
you are going out for dinner or for 'fiesta'. Restaurants tend to
start serving dinner at 20.00 until 23.00/24.00 and bars normally
don't get busy until after 24.00.
Eating Out
The diverse cultures and nationalities living in and around Malaga
have made a great influence in the variety of cuisines served. It is
possible to find everything from traditional and native food to
international and exquisite cuisines.
Depending on your appetite and taste there are different
opportunities, which can be recommended. If you are not very hungry or
just want to grab something to eat before going to a bar we can
recommend the many tapa bars in the city center of Malaga. There you
can get a variety of snacks (hot and cold, meat or vegetarian) and
enjoy a drink in the same place.
If you want to go out for a nice dinner we can recommend Paseo Maritmo
(the sea front passage) where you can find everything from seafood,
Basque cooking, paellas to Chinese and Italian food.
Following the sea front from the Paseo Maritmo to the West you will
arrive to the area Huelin. This is one of the best seafood zones in
Malaga but as it is a bit far away from the center it can especially
be recommended for lunch.
Bars and Discos
In and around Malaga you can find all the bars and discotheques you
desire. There are everything from traditional Spanish bars, reggae
bars, funk bars, jazz bars to gay and techno clubs.
The different places to go out at night in Malaga are divided by
zones. In the old center on Plaza Merced Spanish youngsters starts
around 22.00 Thursdays to Saturday with the classic "botellon" (people
meet and buy drinks, ice, cups in the nearby shops and then drinks in
the square). After 23.00 the bars in the center starts to get busy and
carries on until about 6.00 am in the morning.
La Malagueta is the modern zone near the beach where the more
fashionable people goes out at night. This zone has several trendy
bars but closes down at about 3-4 am.
The last zone in Malaga to go out is the Pedragalejo to the East of
the center near the coast. This zone has a lot of bars with terraces
and normally there are many tourists and foreign students in this
zone.
Going a bit further away (30 minutes by bus) you find the towns
Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Marbella which are typical tourist areas
with a myriad of bars and some of the biggest and most fashionable
discotheques in Spain |
