Opiniones de Universidad de Málaga (UMA)

El Pimpi on calle Alcazabilla was a groovy place to go for pre-club drinks or just to relax as Tony Blair has already done (according to some pretty ropey photographic evidence)and even John Malkovich had been spotted eating in MCPapa next door. After that hanging out with some booze and friends in the Plaza de la Merced was a popular option. You have to try the Chupitarias though, where a filthy shot of grog will set you back only 100 pts!! Then its a quick meal in the same road as Pimpi in a place known as La Posada, (for the best steaks, morcilla and meat in Spain). As far as clubs go there's perhaps a smattering of OK places but if you're into cheese Malaga is your baby...I recomend 'Cosa Nostra' and el 'liceo'. Otherwise go to Torremolinos or Ben Almadena for the best clubs and pubs. Oh yeah, and everyone hangs out in Maddigans irish pub on a Sunday for a singalong with an old crooner.

MAC PAPA'S IS A CHEAP JACKET POTATOE RESTAURANT THAT STAYS OPEN QUITE LATE AND IS GOOD WHEN YOU GET THE LATE NIGHT NIBBLES. THE BEST PLACES TO GO OUT ARE GABBANA A DISCO NEAR THE PORT THAT STAYS OPEN TILL 6/7 ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS. EL TELON IS IN PLAZA DE LA MERCED, A LIVLEY BAR WITH GOOD CHEES MUSIC.

The ferias in summer a great experience, besides that there are a lot of katholic happenings in the city that a very intersting to watch. Dinner at Pipiyaya is great and bars like Cool, White lounge club and Shamrock are great to meat international and spanish students.

Plaza Mayor, Malaga centro historico : Fraggle (the internationnal students'bar), Picaro de la Habana (for salsa), Teteria calle san agustin (calm)

Café Andino! If you are a friend of good hot chocolate, do not miss out on this. They have a choice of 35 different tastes. Definately try one of the many Teterias and experience the "student-meetings" at the Plaza de la Merced in the weekends.

favorites: urbano, fraggle, botellón (unfortunately now only on holidays...); best tapas: el beato, cafés on plaza de la merced
