Carnivals of Malaga
Carnival is always celebrated in a very special way in Málaga, even though it's not an official festival. From the very beginning, carnival troups start their competition with jokes and street bands. Afterwards Carnival takes to the streets with a mounted procession which goes all through the centre of town and major streets leading the way. Lots of people from Málaga dress up to take part in the parade and others enjoy watching the groups perform in the streets. During the night on one of the last days, street bands sing and perform all night long on stages set up on Plaza del Carbón Plaza de los Martires and Plaza de Las Flores. On the eve of the end of Carnival there is a big carnival dance and the last day there is yet another parade, which is called the parade of the Burial of the Sardine. The route of this procession leads from Esperanza Bridge, Hilera Street, Pasillo de Santo Domingo, Pasillo de Santa Isabel, Cisneros, Especerias, Larios, Plaza de la Marina, Paseo de los Curas, to La Malagueta beach.
Plaza y Acera de La Marina
Plaza de la Marina, s/n

This square dates back to the beginning of the 19th century, when a part of the old Moorish walls surrounding the city were torn down. It opens up onto the sea in front of the harbour. The square hosts a number of typical buildings such as La Equitativa and the Diputación Provincial, the national government's offices in Málaga.
The square is filled with whitish sand and palm trees everywhere. There is a pretty fountain above the underground parking lot and there are numerous cafeterias. One of the most famous, "Solymar", is now a McDonald's. This square, although it's been modernized over the years, still has a charming, sea-faring flavour to it.
Calle Larios
This very characteristic Málaga street is 104 years old. You can still see vestiges of its Arabic past in the layout. It soon became the city's most important street.
It has always been home to elegant cafés, bazaars, galleries, hotels and the chambers of renowned lawyers and notaries. Today it is a commercial area that still retains establishments and cafés that are almost a century old.
The street is decorated for special occasions like the August Festival, Christmas and Carnival.
