Location & what to see

Chinitas Urban Rooms is on Pasaje Chinitas, in Málaga Centro and within the historic centre, in a pedestrian area. Marqués de Larios Street is 30 m away, Constitution Square is 50 m away and Málaga Cathedral is 100 m away. This is a busy urban area, with bars and restaurants a few minutes’ walk away. The property’s shared terrace overlooks the cathedral; the bar also welcomes non-residents and plays music from 16:00 until late, so activity may be audible in some rooms.

For getting around the city, Málaga Centro - Alameda is 750 m away and María Zambrano station is 1.3 km away. Málaga bus station is 1.5 km away and Málaga Airport is 6 km away. Nearby cultural attractions include the Carmen Thyssen Museum Málaga, 140 m away, the Picasso Museum, 250 m away, and the Málaga Museum, 350 m away. The Alcazaba of Málaga is 480 m away and Málaga Park is 450 m away. The property is on a pedestrian street and has no parking.

The historic centre is well suited to exploring its museums, churches and squares on foot, with the Cathedral and the Alcazaba among the main sights along the way.
