La Merced is a bustling district with life on the streets at all times. Above all, enjoy the lively atmosphere and cosy terraces here.
In the La Merced district, Málaga's pride Pablo Picasso was born. Although he did not live in the city for long, he has always remained an important icon for Málaga. The Museo Picasso is therefore dedicated to his life and work. A statue of him stands in Plaza de la Merced, overlooking the square. This same square is the heart of the district, with many restaurants, cafés and bars where it is especially teeming with people at night. In short: there is no end to culture and good food and drink in this district.
