Areas we cover
Fuengirola · Málaga
Fuengirola is a coastal town with a long seafront, a dense centre and districts such as Los Boliches, Carvajal, Torreblanca and El Boquetillo. A good share of residents come from northern Europe and live here all year or for long stretches, so many homes run in two languages. The Cercanías line links to Málaga and the airport, which makes hourly work in different spots practical.

€1,400–2,200. Gross per month in 14 payments for full-time; part-time is paid pro rata. Indicative amount, non-binding.
Demand splits between hourly part-time work and full-time live-in roles in large houses. English opens many doors and Finnish is a plus around Los Boliches. Out of season the volume drops, but resident families keep their service all year.
What the service includes
Daily family cooking, balanced menus, shopping, pantry management and meals for guests.
The first thing to fix is how many meals a day, whether cooking for guests is included and who decides the menu. In Fuengirola the homes in Centro and Los Boliches looking for a cook usually want one weekly shop and the family's recipes written down, and that makes onboarding much faster.
What we ask of the professional
Experience in family or restaurant kitchens, knowledge of diets and allergies, references.
Beyond kitchen experience, in Fuengirola we ask for knowledge of diets and allergies and the ability to organise shopping and the pantry; homes in Centro and Los Boliches often ask for menus for guests.
Legal framework
