The revived 'arts district' between the centre and the port — big street-art murals, galleries, craft-beer bars, wine spots and buzzing nightlife. Younger, edgier and central, walkable to the old town and the marina; the base for eating, drinking and the art scene.

- 11.Soho street art — The Soho district between the centre and the port has been transformed into an open-air gallery of huge murals by international street artists, alongside galleries, indie shops and cool bars. A colourful, arty wander and the hippest corner of the city; combine it with a craft beer and some tapas.
- 13.Tapas & sweet Málaga wine — Málaga is a brilliant tapas city — hop between old bodegas and buzzing bars for fried fish (pescaíto frito), garlicky prawns and Iberian ham, washed down with the local sweet Málaga wine straight from the barrel. Do a crawl of the old-town lanes; it's the tastiest, most sociable way to eat here.
