There are few things that we can relate to a holiday on the coast as are the promenades, especially those of Malaga. A place to enjoy at any time with our family and friends while we enjoy the pleasant Malaga sunshine and above all, its sunset.
What is the Antonio Banderas promenade? Well, this is nothing more than one of the promenades of the city of Malaga. It was named after the famous Malaga actor Antonio Banderas, and as a good Malagueño, Antonio Banderas loves to enjoy a good tapas, and there are no better tapas in Malaga than the ones at the gastrobar. KrakenThe perfect place to relax and share a snack with friends after a walk along the promenade.
Its long route, the views, the climate and the smell of the sea breeze make it one of the most popular places in Malaga. The Paseo Marítimo Antonio Banderas has a length of 2.5 km and 2 km is made up of the Playa de la Misericordia. Below, we will take a tour of the most remarkable places of this place.
Misericordia Beach
Misericordia beach is one of the most popular beaches in the city. This name comes from a former charity hostel, the Casa de la Misericordia, which ceased its activity at the end of the 1970s.
However, in recent years it has become one of the main cultural venues in the city, and has changed its name to La Térmica. If you like contemporary art and live shows, don't hesitate to stop by La Térmica when you stroll along the Playa de la Misericordia.
On the other hand, if you are looking to enjoy a day at the beach with your family on a wide beach with a quiet atmosphere, this is the beach for you. But be careful with the ''Ola del melillero'', around 19:30 you might see waves flooding the shore, this is caused by a boat that goes from Melilla to Malaga, but don't worry, it only lasts for a while.
To end the day at the beach, we recommend you to visit the bar Amaretto to try one of their typical Italian dishes made with natural ingredients and carefully prepared accompanied by one of their famous cocktails or a glass of wine that will make your day end in the best way.
La Térmica Fireplace
