Pedregalejo Playa is a former fishing village that is now a laid-back beachfront suburb of Málaga. It’s known for its four linked, sheltered bays popular with sunbathers and kayakers. Its palm-fringed, seaside promenade is lined with ice cream parlors, casual seafood restaurants, and "chiringuito" beach bars. After hours, a local party scene includes trendy open-air cocktail lounges and dance clubs with live DJ music, both popular with students.

Each year, the Málaga Carnival holds a competition to decide who will be the festival gods. The Momus God and the Carnival Goddess are selected after a parade accompanied by a light, sound and confetti show through Plaza de la Constitución and Calle Larios. The winners will be able to bear their title with pride as carnival god and goddess until the end of the celebration. During month of Carnival, Málaga, its streets, and its theatres are filled with costumes, music, and a lot of magic. Every day of Carnival is filled with special events such as the competitions, parades, and shows that make up this popular celebration.
