Areas we cover
Malaga · Málaga
Málaga grows outwards: the Centre concentrates refurbished flats and short-let homes, Teatinos and Puerto de la Torre are university and family districts, and El Palo and Pedregalejo still keep low houses by the sea. Many families who hire arrived a few years ago and work remotely, so the home is in use all day. Churriana and the upper areas add houses with gardens and more than one floor, where the day is organised floor by floor.
