I hesitate between Valencia and Malaga by European521
Hola todos Am a Canadian retiree and am planning to move to Spain. I hesitate between Valencia and Malaga and would like to have the opinion of other retirees who are living in either city. Muchas gracias!! D.
I have lived in all 3 places. While each has the good and bad, I have to say l am loving Valencia the most. Malaga has a lot of expats but most seem to be East of Malaga and not in the city itself which is where we wanted to be. The accent was also ... Read More
African hair type salon by SoniaBr14
Hi, I have extremely curly/fizzy and thick hair and I used to go to African salons in Paris to make sure the hairdresser could handle my hair. Now that I'm in Malta I can find only hair salons doing caucasian hair type. Has anyone heard of ...

Sorry for the late reply :-) . Our search continues also in Valencia. I was going to add that it might be worth taking out an ad yourself on the free milanucios website. We were contacted by 2 agents who are now actively helping us find a place. The ... Read More

I feel your pain. We had the worst time trying to find a rental that would allow dogs in Malaga and l'm pretty sure it contributed to our ultimate dislike for the city and why we left after 7 months for Seville and a suburb. Your best bet is to ... Read More
