Malaga's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Picasso Museum and Centre Pompidou Malaga, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Soho street art district — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
