Entertainment in Malaga
Introduction
If you looking for the right places to kick of your nightlife then malaga will be right down your street though the question is, what streets do you go down to get down to the party. Firstly go to Merced square, its the lifeline that brings everything together, whether you fancy just enjoying a few beers outside or have a great drink with you.

Clubs

- Liceo- A favourite disco bar with a few tourists thrown in the two floors with a whole spectrum of music to keep you entertained. It follows a gothic theme and has plenty of students who keep the atmosphere going.
- Discoteca Palladium- a new experience that combines different aspects as it has the nightclub, swimming pool and pizzeria (how great does that sound?!)
- Mana- Energetic clubs that have some of the newest european house music.
Museums
