El Ingenio Shopping Centre

On the road just south of Velez-Malaga, on the way to Torre del Mar and the beach, is the shopping centre El Ingenio. When the boutique shops of the Velez old town aren’t calling to you, or when you need to shop for a variety of modern conveniences in one location, then El Ingenio is the place for you. In 2020 El Ingenio had a make-over, renovated, improved and is all shiny and new.
