Plaza de Félix Sáenz
Plaza de Félix Sáenz occupies Málaga’s historic centre, where five streets meet around a lively urban square. Nueva, San Juan, Sagasta, de los Esparteros, and Puerta del Mar converge here.
Once called La Alhóndiga, the square honours Félix Sáenz Calvo, a merchant from La Rioja, deputy mayor, and lifelong senator. The former Félix Sáenz department-store building stands among Málaga’s notable modernist works. Historical and modern architecture share the surrounding streets, creating a varied backdrop around the cafés and restaurants.
Traditional Andalusian dishes and refreshing drinks fill the local tables. Cultural events and local festivities bring Málaga’s traditions into this central setting. At the centre, Jaume Plensa’s Casa dorada para pájaros sculpture has stood since 2000.
