Málaga city
A real Spanish city by the sea: museums, a cathedral, the Soho arts district, beaches and a high-speed train to Madrid.
Living in Málaga city
Everything is on foot or by metro and bus. The airport is about 15 minutes away and the high-speed train reaches Madrid in under three hours. The city has a growing technology sector, universities and a busy food scene, and it stays lively all year, not only in summer.
The homes
Mostly apartments: flats in historic buildings in the centre, newer blocks with pools towards the west and Teatinos, and penthouses and a few villas on the east side, in El Limonar and Monte Sancha.
