The popular street in the capital of the **Costa del Sol** contains all manner of traditional businesses and the world's main **fashion** brands, making it the **shopping epicentre** **of Malaga**. The street, which although referred to as “Larios” by the people of Malaga is actually called “**Marqués de Larios**”, named after the **Larios family**, and is located in the **centre of Malaga** (beside the [**Port of Malaga**](https://www.visitcostadelsol.com/before-travelling/travel-around-malaga/malaga-port-p14631)). The Larios family were one of the main drivers of the **Malaga** economy in the 19th century. Prior to which the province of Malaga had a fishing and agriculture-based economy. The street, in addition to being one of the most important shopping streets in **Spain**, contains very attractive architecture and was pedestrianised in 2003.   ## **Calle Larios, from one shop to the next** If you ask a Malaga native what to do on **Calle Larios** you will be swiftly sent to the have a coffee at the **[Café Central](https://www.visitcostadelsol.com/food-and-drink/cafe-restaurante-central-p11241) **(at the end of Calle Larios, in the **Plaza de la Constitución**) or a ice cream at Casa Mira, two classics in the city. If you hear a Malaga native asking for “una nube” \[a cloud\] or “un sombra” \[a shadow\], then they are asking for a coffee. José Prado Crespo, founder of the mythical **Café Central**, is the author of this curious nomenclature for types of coffee. Inside the cafeteria its wall contains a large illustrated azulejo \[ceramic tiles\] with guidance on how to order. Calle Larios has places where you can have lunch and tea and, just a few steps away is the dazzling Atarazanas Market. The provisions market in the **centre of Malaga** is worth a visit not just because of is beautiful building, which dates to the 14th century, but also due to the variety of products on offer. After lunch and tea you are all ready to go **shopping on Calle Larios**! The first thing you will encounter are lots of **clothes shops**. From youth to fashion brands, through Malaga businesses, Calle Larios serves all types of public. You will also encounter many **shoe shops** such as the classic Nicolás, and large jewellery chains such as Swarovski. A few steps away from Larios you can find Malaga **jewellers** such as Joyería Montañez (C/ Nueva 28), with over 100 years of history, or Joyería Puerta Nueva (C/ Compañía 33). In addition, **perfumeries** or large **cosmetics** companies offer their products to Calle Larios visitors. Notable amongst the perfumeries is **Primor**, a well-loved family business founded in 1953 that has seen spectacular growth, with subsidiaries in nearly every city in **Spain**. In short, **Malaga**'s Fifth Avenue is a street that has maintained the charm of its 19th century buildings without renouncing the modernity of its foreign brands and, above all, the growth of its local businesses. 12 May 2016 [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fcalle-larios-malagas-fifth-avenue%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fcalle-larios-malagas-fifth-avenue%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fcalle-larios-malagas-fifth-avenue%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Calle%20Larios%2C%20Malaga%27s%20Fifth%20Avenue) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Échale%20un%20vistazo%20a%20%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fcalle-larios-malagas-fifth-avenue%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Échale%20un%20vistazo%20a%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.visitacostadelsol.com%2Fen%2Fcalle-larios-malagas-fifth-avenue%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ## Search in our blog This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty. ## All about the Costa del Sol in your inbox Submit your email address and receive exclusive information and great offers about the Costa del Sol. ### Categories - [cruises](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/en/topic/cruises) [![Nuevo llamado a la acción](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1995901/ccc2d4eb-901e-4521-9e39-7f630127ef37.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1995901/ccc2d4eb-901e-4521-9e39-7f630127ef37) ## Related posts - [Español Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/es) - Inglés - [Alemán Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/de) - [Francés Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/fr) - [Noruego Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/nor) - [Sueco Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/se) - [Danés Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/dk) - [Finlandés Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/fin) - [Ruso Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/ru) - [Chino Blog](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/ch) ![costa_del_sol_logo_color](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/costa_del_sol_logo_color.png "costa_del_sol_logo_color") ### Follow us on social media [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-01.png)](https://www.facebook.com/visitacostadelsol) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-02.png)](https://www.instagram.com/visitacostadelsol/) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-03.png)](http://www.visitacostadelsol.com/social-media/twitter) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-04.png)](https://www.youtube.com/user/visitacostadelsol) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-05.png)](http://www.visitacostadelsol.com/social-media/pintrest) [![](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Blog/logos-06.png)](https://plus.google.com/+VisitcostadelsolM%C3%A1laga/videos) ![Rectángulo 21](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hubfs/Rect%C3%A1ngulo%2021.jpg "Rectángulo 21") © Turismo y Planificación Costa del Sol S.L.U.
