[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

El Palo is a neighborhood we want to scout the next time we're back! 😊

Lived in Malaga and Marbella as a French citizen in 2007; now moving back as a Canadian with the help of my French passport. 💁‍♀️

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Lucky you! 😍 What area do you want to live in?

[@izlandsisterztv8792]

Spotted so many pups in Malaga too, but never a dog poo……very clean city. Thank you Malagonians! London needs to learn something from this

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

We love how dog friendly Malaga is!

[@danielaamritha340]

You are so sweet😍, thank you for this very informative video.And, yes Malaga is super touristy, esp.right now, on Christmas!!! Seems, spanish families do kind of christmas hopping on weekends visiting also the wonderfully illuminated Malaga. And then the cruise tourists, 2 cruise ships today, so, the city got packed. Anyway, Malaga is a real Queen of the cities. I'm here right now and feel victorious 😘 every day. Thank you again for the video. Keep it up!

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

thank you so much! 🤗

[@jmtrevijano9160]

Dogs must be registered and identified. There is a DNA test for each dog so owners risk a large fine in case dog poo is found in the street.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

We did not know that...what a great initiative. Wish they had this all over the world. 🚫💩😁

[@patrickmiao1698]

I heard about Malaga on expat sites and decided to visit this year. I was blown away by the experience, what a beautiful place. I plan on spending more time in the area after I retire, strong contender for a permanent home. Love your review of Malaga, you confirm what I noticed as well. I hope to go back again in the spring.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Glad to hear you love it as much as we do! We're exploring the entire Costa del Sol area around Malaga so check out our other videos to get an idea if you would prefer living in one of the towns nearby.

[@sunnybeachwalks4k2022]

Costa del sol, particularly Benalmadena was voted the number 1 place to live in Spain; with many expats making it their home, over 60% of the homeowners in the mijas area are from the United Kingdom

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

very cool! we will be visiting Mijas and Marbella soon! we can't wait

[@sunnybeachwalks4k2022]

@@SeekingParadiseBugs mijas Pueblo is the hilltop village overlooking Fuengirola, not to be confused with Mijas - the region from Malaga to Marbella including, Fuengirola, La Cala de Mijas, mijas costa, and areas like calahonda, riviera del sol etc.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Thank you for the clarification! We noticed the different areas on the map when researching.

[@sylvaindupuis5595]

I was in Malaga for 10 days in April - May 2022 and love to go back. I'm not looking to be an expat, but would love to go somewhere hot for one or two months each year to get out of the Canadian winter!

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

The Costa del Sol is a beautiful place to go! We were in Mijas and Fuengirola recently that are near Malaga and are working on videos about these Costa del Sol neighborhoods.

[@expatrants]

This is a well-organized video, including the description section. Beautifully shot and effectively narrated. A true rarity!

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

aww..thank you so much. We enjoy making these videos and the best part is reading sweet comments like this 😊

[@aliasErEf]

First: This KZbin presentation is simply way better then what we have on standards tv channel in North America. Second : I find Malaga a CLEAN city, interesting architecture, an art de vivre ….typically Mediterranean.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Thanks so much!! We can't wait to go back to Malaga!

[@MontanezMonti]

How did I miss Malaga when I visited Spain last year? I don't know, but I will not forgive myself. My wife and I will retire in Spain in 2026 (can't wait). We were settling our site on Seville for now, but Malaga is a great option as well. I am Latino and my wife Chinese, and yes, she will need to learn Spanish.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! We love the Costa del Sol and Spain in general. Malaga is definitely a different vibe than Seville. Let us know what you think after visiting.

[@rosemarie7705]

I’m planning on retiring in Spain and Malaga was one of my choices. My grandparents were Spaniards and I just absolutely love how beautiful Spain really is.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

It is beautiful and the people in Malaga are some of the friendliest we've met. We are exploring areas around Malaga ourselves because we love it so much. We'll be posting videos soon about Fuengirola and Mijas that are nearby.

[@therocknrollcook]

@@SeekingParadiseBugs was considering the costa de Luz for relocation. But now Malaga is on my list. Thanks❤
