Why Málaga old town

Investing in property in Málaga old town

The second most expensive district in Málaga, with culture, restaurants, the port and the beach all within walking distance.

🌿

Everything within walking distance

In the centre you do not need a car. Calle Larios, the cathedral, the Picasso Museum, the Atarazanas market and the Muelle Uno promenade are a few minutes on foot, and La Malagueta beach lies on the edge of the old town.

📈

€4,574 per m², the second most expensive district

At €4,574 per square metre in August 2026, Centro is the most expensive district in Málaga after Este, well above the city average of €3,938. Prices rose by 5.8% over the past year.

🐟

Living in a historic building

Supply consists mainly of apartments in historic, often renovated buildings, by no means always with a lift or parking space. Penthouses with a roof terrace and views of the cathedral or the sea are the premium segment.

🚗

Fifteen minutes from the airport

From the centre you can reach the airport in about fifteen minutes by car or by the Cercanías commuter train from Málaga Centro-Alameda station. From María Zambrano station the AVE high-speed train runs to Madrid and the rest of Spain.

Central Málaga is compact, but each neighbourhood has a character of its own. Below are the four areas where international buyers most often end up.

Centro Histórico

The heart of the city around Calle Larios, the cathedral and the Alcazaba. Narrow streets, renovated buildings and the most sought-after address for anyone who wants everything within walking distance. This is also where you will find penthouses overlooking the cathedral.

Soho

The arts district between the Alameda Principal and the port, with street art, galleries and the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo. Close to Muelle Uno and the beach, and popular with buyers looking for an apartment in a lively neighbourhood.

La Merced

Around Plaza de la Merced, where Picasso was born, at the foot of the Alcazaba and the Roman Theatre. A lively square with pavement cafés, and quieter streets behind it towards Lagunillas.

El Perchel and La Trinidad

On the west bank of the Guadalmedina river, within walking distance of the old town. Traditional working-class neighbourhoods that are changing fast, and the part of the centre where entry prices are generally lowest.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about buying a home in Málaga old town

Clear answers to the questions international buyers ask us most often.

How much does a property in Málaga old town cost?

In August 2026 the Centro district averaged €4,574 per square metre, the highest of all Málaga districts after Este and 5.8% higher than a year earlier. For a 90 m² apartment that comes to around €410,000. Penthouses with a roof terrace and views of the cathedral or the port sell for well above that, because supply is scarce. In El Perchel and La Trinidad, across the Guadalmedina, entry prices are generally lower.

What is the difference between Centro Histórico, Soho and La Merced?

Centro Histórico is the old town around Calle Larios and the cathedral, Soho the arts district towards the port, and La Merced the square around Picasso's birthplace at the foot of the Alcazaba. In Centro Histórico you buy the most sought-after address, in historic buildings on narrow, largely car-free streets. Soho has a more modern layout, lies closest to Muelle Uno and the beach and has a creative feel. La Merced is lively around the square, but the streets behind it offer more peace and quiet and often a little more space for your money.

Can I buy a penthouse with views in Málaga old town?

Yes, although supply is limited and sells quickly. Penthouses with a roof terrace and views of the cathedral, the Alcazaba or the port are the premium segment of the centre and are often sold before they appear online. Views and terrace are the main price drivers here: two comparable penthouses can differ considerably in price depending on what you see from the terrace and whether that terrace is legal. That is why we check for every property whether the terrace is included in the title deed and the land registry.

Can I let a property in Málaga old town to tourists?

Only if the property already has a licence: since August 2025 the city of Málaga no longer issues new licences for holiday lets, across the entire municipality and until at least 2028. The historic centre was already among the neighbourhoods where new registrations had been frozen earlier. Properties that were lawfully registered as a vivienda de fines turísticos before August 2025 may continue to be let. Long-term lets of eleven months or more fall outside these rules. If you are buying to let, we check the licence in the register before you make an offer.

Is Málaga old town a good place to live all year round?

Yes, if you enjoy city life. Everything is within walking distance: shops, the Atarazanas market, museums, restaurants, the port and the beach, and you will hardly need a car. On the other hand, the centre is busy, with many visitors and, in some streets, noise until late in the evening. So when viewing, pay attention to where the bedrooms are, whether there is a lift and whether you can park nearby. If you are a family looking for space, a garden or a pool, Málaga East is usually the better fit.

Why choose WeSellHomes.es in Málaga old town?

WeSellHomes.es is a GIPE-registered, English-speaking estate agent on the Costa del Sol with more than 20 years' experience, and as a buyer you pay us nothing. In central Málaga the difference between a good purchase and an expensive one often lies in details you cannot see on a viewing: a tourist licence that is not (or no longer) valid, a roof terrace that is not legal, planned renovation costs for the community of owners in an old building, or a protected status that restricts alterations. We have all of this checked in advance and explain it to you in your own language. Feel free to get in touch via our contact page.

Dankzij de juiste begeleiding van onze aankoopmakelaar Marleen hebben wij met vertrouwen ons droomhuis kunnen vinden. Het hele proces werd helder uitgelegd, er werd meegedacht en vervolgens goed geschakeld. De communicatie was snel en prettig, waardoor we ons gedurende het hele traject ondersteund voelden. Absoluut een aanrader voor iedereen die een woning wil kopen in Spanje.

Elvira

Muy profesionales y transparentes

Marielle Raben

Onze ervaring met We Sell Homes, en in het bijzonder Yasmin, was zeer positief bij de verkoop van ons grondstuk in Spanje. Vanaf het begin verliep de communicatie duidelijk en transparant, en werd er echt de tijd genomen om alles goed toe te lichten. Wij werden gedurende het hele traject zorgvuldig op de hoogte gehouden, wat voor veel vertrouwen zorgde. Ook het feit dat alles in het Nederlands kon worden besproken, hebben wij als een groot voordeel ervaren. Wij kijken terug op een prettige samenwerking en kunnen We Sell Homes en Yasmin van harte aanbevelen. Absoluut een 10 waard!

marco nijholt

Marleen heeft voor ons het perfecte huis gevonden dat volledig aan onze wensen voldeed én waarin wij ons bedrijf konden starten. Ze was ontzettend betrokken en hield regelmatig contact gedurende het hele proces. Omdat wij nog in Nederland woonden, heeft Marleen ons op afstand begeleid en door alle formaliteiten heen geloodst. Ze stond altijd klaar met raad en daad, wat enorm prettig was, zeker als je zelf niet ter plaatse bent. Haar kennis en ervaring gaven ons veel vertrouwen. Wij waarderen haar inzet enorm en bevelen Marleen van We Sell Homes dan ook van harte aan als een betrouwbare en betrokken makelaar.

Jeroen de Laat

Eind 2025 in contact gekomen met We Sell Homes. Na enkele uitvoerige gesprekken over must haves en nice to haves met Yasmin hebben we een selectie van appartementen doorgespit en zijn we gericht naar Spanje afgereisd om de top 4 te bezien. Duidelijke communicatie en goede afspraken hebben ervoor gezorgd dat we ondertussen eigenaar zijn geworden van een appartement in Estepona! Yasmin super bedankt voor de persoonlijke service en duidelijke communicatie.

Sabine Dijkema

Een huis kopen in Spanje; dat werkt echt anders dan in Nederland kan ik met 100% vertellen. Alles werkt anders, écht anders. Waar je in Nederland denkt het op sommige punten zelf te kunnen, kan je dat hier écht niet. Je hebt iemand nodig die je adviseert, met kennis van de markt, die naast je staat, je belangen behartigd en die je 100% kan vertrouwen. En zo iemand; dat is Frank. Van het eerste contact tot na ontvangst van de sleutels; Frank is er voor je. Met open blik, pragmatisch, enorme kennis van de markt, weet welke wegen te bewandelen, snelle reactie en beschikbaarheid en boven alles: eerlijk. En dat is wat ik iedereen gun in zijn of haar zoektocht naar de droomplek onder de zon van Andalusië.
