Generally
speaking, the newer the centre, the better the
design and the facilities available. The
three latest to be built in the Malaga area
are the Ingenio, near Torre del Mar ; Rincon
Centro Comercial (link) near Rincon de la
Victoria; and Plaza Mayor , between the
airport and Torremolinos. The latter has
a bowling alley, two swimming pools,
restaurants with terraces and a large
children's play area. All have
state-of-the-art cinemas.

For those wishing to find everything under one
roof but who still prefer shopping in more
traditional establishments, there is of
course, that great Spanish institution:
El Corte Inglés.
This department store is a cross between
Harrods and Marks & Spencers, a wedding-list
sort of a store, with a customer service
counter (still a rarity in Spain) and a great
delivery service.
The best place to buy fruit and veg, as well
as hunt out bargain clothes and household
goods, remains the local
markets. This sets up each day of the
week (except Sunday) in a different town.
Some towns and neighbourhoods also have their
own regular covered market. Atarazanas,
Malaga Central Market is absolutely not to be
missed.
The
Spanish aren't really into second-hand goods,
although where there are large expat
populations and tourists this seems to be
changing. Up and down the coast, antique
markets-cum-car-boot sales held on Saturdays
and Sundays are popular with tourists and
locals alike.
Marbella is a wonderful shopping centre
with several large shopping complexes, as well
as hypermarkets, specialty food shops,
designer boutiques, interior decor stores and
much, much more.
Unless you are in a hurry, the best way to
explore Marbella's shops is by simply
strolling through the streets. However, the
following is a brief list of some of the
better known outlets to help you locate that
