Districts
- Centro Histórico
- Mostly pedestrian streets around Calle Larios, with the port and the Atarazanas market close by. Everything is near, but tourist rentals and night-time noise are part of daily life.
- El Palo
- A former fishing village at the eastern end of the city, with a beach promenade and its own shops and market. It feels like a small town; the center is a bus ride away.
- Teatinos
- A newer district around the university campus, with wide avenues, modern apartment buildings, playgrounds and a metro line. Popular with families, and far from the sea.
Beyond it, districts differ a great deal in how much you can do without a bus or a car. Where do expats live in Malaga? In the center, along the eastern seafront and in the towns of the Costa del Sol. Guides to the best areas to live in Malaga for expats often mix the city with those towns, where life depends more on a car.
Inside the city, the question is how far you are from the things you use every day. In the center a supermarket may be farther away than a tapas bar. In Teatinos the school is close and the beach is not. In the east, the hills start a few streets back from the shore, and the walk home can be steep.
