Free parking in Malaga

You will be happy to know that the city is
provided with free parking lots, and without
moving away from the Old Town. Between
them, you will find the following.

Colour of the lines: white

Calle Guillén Sotelo. This is one of the best

free parking zones, as it is located at the feet of
the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro mountain, between
the gardens of Puerta Oscura and those of
Pedro Luis Alonso, next to the Town Hall.
Thanks to its fabulous location, finding a free
spot here might be somewhat difficult; but you
can always take your chances!

Calle Carretería. The bottleneck and a large

number of cars that you may find along
Carretería street mustn’t dissuade you from
looking for a free parking spot in this street,
which serves as a ring road of the Old Town.
The free parking space is located in a vacant
lot that’s converted into a popular parking lot
among locals and tourists.

Take note

A renewal project of Carretería street is

set to start mid-2020. Keep that in
mind if you’re planning to travel to
Malaga after that date.

El Ejido district. The highest area of Malaga

city centre is the perfect place to park your
car for free without moving away too much.
This district welcomes several universities and
faculties, and all of them are provided with free
parking lots.

La Rosaleda Football stadium. You can park

your car for free in the vacant lots that envelop
the stadium, especially in the Paseo de
Martíricos, which runs parallel to
Guadalmedina river.

Avenida Fátima and Avenida del Arroyo de

Los Ángeles. In the area surrounding the
Materno-Infantil Hospital, you can leave your
car parked for free and you will be a 10-minute
walk from the city centre.

Tip

If you want to park for free in Malaga,

we recommend you keep an eye out
for gorrillas. These are illegal parking
lot attendant that usually watch the
cars parked in the free parking lots of
the city, by asking for a tip in return.
However, you are not obligated to give
them money.

Paid Parking Zone in

Malaga
Malaga also features paid parking zones that
are regulated by the City Council. The
current regulation system of parking is
known as SARE.

Zonas de rotación normal –

Regular rotation zone

You can park your car in these areas, also

called “Zona azul” (blue zone), for a
maximum of 150 minutes. This limitation is
active only during the business hours (9 am
– 2 pm, and 4 pm – 8 pm), as well as on
Saturdays, from 10 am to 2 pm. Remember
to pay the ticket in the vending machine
located near this type of parking lots. If you
get here outside the aforementioned hours,
parking your car here is free.

Zonas de alta rotación

(S.A.R.E. 30) – High rotation
zone
Colour of the lines: blue.

You can park your car for a maximum of 30

minutes, due to the high attendance of
vehicles in these areas. They are usually
located in the city centre and the hours when
you can park are the same as the Zonas de
rotación normal. However, always check the
signals located near the parking lot you’ve
chosen, especially if you plan to stay away
for an extended period of time.

Residents and people with reduced mobility:

residents in Malaga and people with reduced
mobility might park in the “Zonas azul” for a
98% off the original price (€0.20/day and
€1/week).They have to show a card that will be
associated with the vehicle.

Owners of electric cars: they can park for free

in the Regular Rotation Zone, but NOT in the
high rotation zone parking lots. Likewise,
they can park for free during a 45-minute
window in all parking lots that have charging
points (El Palo, Avda. Andalucía and Carlos
Haya).
