Larios ( Born 15th December 1836-1895) 

 

He was the son of Martin Larios y Herreros y Margarita Larios Martínez de Tejeda. 

 

He developed the sugar and textile industries in Málaga. So he was a crucial figure in the Industrial Revolution.

 

When his father died in 1873, he became a managing partner of the Society of Sons of Martin Larios. His work was of greater social and urban projection for Malaga, given the economic impact that would bring the construction of the Marques de Larios Street.

He died in Paris without children.

Over time, Málaga has become a meeting place for top-level sporting events.The city has hosted the finals of the David Cup, the National Basketball League (ACB) and the National Athletics Championships. The city also organises its own high-level sporting events such as Málaga's city Marathon which takes place in December, the triathlon or the fun run.

 

 

Dawn in Málaga is a delightful spectacle that is free to all and with no entry limits. Take to the streets early and walk down to the beach, to the esplanade, from where you can watch how the sea is slowly tinged with gold as it is touched by the first rays of the sun.

 

During the evening hours in Málaga the light becomes very special. The hours before sunset is the time to find a good terrace and enjoy a drink (tea, coffe, fruit-juice..) whatever  you fancy. You can enjoy these special moments, chatting with friends or simply watching and observing at  any of the city´s cafés, tea rooms or cake shops in places such as Plaza de la Merced, Calle Alcazabilla, Calle San Agustín, Plaza de la Constitución and Calle Larios.

 

 

 

 

Málaga offers a variety of different ways of enjoying the night. You will find lively areas full of excitement and music to dance until the early hours while there are other, more relaxed areas where you can talk, drink and enjoy good music. You can choose any of them, as your prefer.
