C. Marqués de Larios

Calle Marqués de Larios is a well-known pedestrian shopping street in Málaga that opened in 1891. It is named in honor of the 2nd Marqués de Larios, whose family financed its construction and also had a statue by Mariano Benlliure erected at its southern end. The architecture of the buildings, largely designed by Eduardo Strachan Viana-Cárdenas, shows clear influences of the Chicago School style. The street came through the Spanish Civil War largely undamaged, and in 2002 it was closed to car traffic entirely. Today it ranks among the most expensive residential streets in Spain and hosts major events such as Fashion Week, making it a central gathering place for culture and shopping.
