Plaza y Acera de La Marina

Description:

• 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.
