Everybody wants to take a picture with the sculpture of the Malagueta, between its letters, on the side, but that picture can't be missed.
Just where the Paseo de la Farola ends and the Paseo de Levante begins, heading east, a beautiful path begins.
A very extensive path along the promenade but which crosses many beaches of the city, along with its beach bars, the famous fried fish and much more.
A path of more than nine kilometres, a great route, but to enjoy it properly and to give it the observation it deserves, it is better to do it in several days and in sections.
The first beach, the most famous in the city, is the one that begins the route and is called Malagueta.
At first sight it seems not very long but the truth is that this walk has taken me a long time and although the promenade has palm trees, there is no shade at most times of the day.
It is also very pleasant to take this walk at night, it has a different magic with the lights and the sound of the sea. If there is a full moon it is even better.
At the beginning of the walk and looking to the left I could see the beautiful lighthouse between some trees and to the right the first beach bar called La Farola.
Along the promenade there are kiosks every few metres, always at the comfort of the immense number of tourists that make life on the beach, this famous beach.
In many parts of this grandiose route I went down to the sand to better appreciate the beach bars, their decorations, the beach more closely and to see the groupings of beach huts so aesthetically arranged.
On my way I came across a very well fenced place belonging to the Real Club Mediterraneo, I could not see anything behind it, but I could hear how they were playing tennis inside.
Always looking to my right I could see the beach, the amount of people who, even though it is autumn, are there. Because I always say that autumn here is like a mild summer, just like spring, and I also say that winter doesn't exist, it's more like autumn.
Many times I would look towards the beach and see those places where they make the pesadito frito, some are very close to the beach bars and others in the middle of nowhere, on the sand.
The next beach bar that appeared before me was one called Miami Beach, very colourful with its sign and in this case I decided to go down to the beach to have a closer look. Each of them have different days for relaxation and I think this was their day.
The views of the beach and the quinchos were beautiful.
When I looked up from the beach, towards the buildings and constructions, it was also a beautiful sight. I imagined seeing the sea from that height, majestic.
I decided to walk for a while along the sand to have a closer view of everything and I got closer to the sea and the different facilities that were there.
Looking back offered a different spectacle because the sun hid behind the clouds and the tonality of the sea, the sand and the sky changed dramatically.
On this beach everything is very well cared for and even the public toilets have painted art and very good art, of course with motifs related to the beach, the sea and often with children playing or having fun.
I liked to go to the places where they were working to cook the fried fish, to see the flames, the fish in the middle of the process.
On the other hand, the people crowded in the beach bars asking for food. Although the peak tourist season is over, there are still a lot of people everywhere, especially on the beach.
The views change when you walk along the promenade, so I went up again and sometimes I can see entrances like these.
The walk in the sun is relaxing, although if you wear a hat it's even better.
There are also children's playgrounds with various games in the sand for them to enjoy.
At the chiringuito Sicsú I had a good opportunity to photograph the famous fried fish or espeto. They always make it in places that are like small boats, a characteristic of this city that I love, as if I saw art everywhere.
In front of each chiringuito there is a huge group of kinchos for people to enjoy the shade while lying by the sea. Of course there is a fee for this.
When you get to the middle of the Malagueta beach you will find the biggest restaurant or chiringuito called El Merendero, it stands out for its design and for how big it is, as well as being surrounded by a small street that, when you go around it, you will also find a square.
Right in front of it is the sculpture that distinguishes the beach and where everyone wants to take a picture with it or among its letters. It is iconic and beautiful. There were too many people so I waited for a while to take a picture.
Nearby there was another public toilet with the inscription: Malaga, national prize, greatest citizen impact. And there was art in it too.
The promenade has a separate place for walkers, pedestrians and those on scooters or bicycles and it is quite respected, although some tourists have no idea what the blue line is for. That's a fun fact.
As you can see, each chiringuito has its own little boat where the fried fish is made. A detail that marks the city.
Looking to my left and almost at the end of the route is the 5 star Hotel Miramar, very luxurious and beautiful indeed.
The Malagueta beach culminates where you see that group of rocks forming a T in the sea, after the inflatable games that are placed every summer for children and not so children.
The last beach bar is called El Cachalote and is also very popular with tourists and the general public.
After several hours of walking, the sun goes down and beautiful postcards by the sea are created.
It is a pleasure to have shared with all of you the tour of the most famous beach of the city.
Best regards to all of you and see you next time.
