Thanks for featuring me for this epic boxing match ;) I'm gonna stay with my choice of Malaga for the simple fact that I love the locals here, but Valencia is also epic :).. By the way, your editing skills are fiiiiirrreeee
Well, EXPATS = IMMIGRANTS ... cut that Anglo-American crap !!
i'll vote for Elliot for Malaga's next mayor.
Finalmente, los dos estáis viviendo en España. Por algo será.
According to this RUclipsr in Spain, from what I see, the food is wonderful in all the Bars and Restaurants and the prices are very good. The food in Spain, from what all tourists say, is great. Thank you so much.
Excellent comparison!
I'm choosing between the two cities now as I want to move to Spain in 2025.
This is so helpful guys. Please do some more. Gracias a todos.
P.S. Having watched this terrific comparison,Malaga has the lead !
Más,por favor!

I've visited about 20 cities in Spain. I have lived in Madrid a year but lived in Malaga for almost 3! I liked my visit to Valaencia but yep... Malaga is my home! Love it. Great video guys.
Valencia es la ciudad más bonita de españa y mejor calidad de vida . Amo 💜 valencia , gracias antoanetta por querer tanto a Valencia.
Parece ser que es Logroño la ciudad con mayor calidad de vida de España
What a great comparison vlog. Thank you! Valencia for me but Malaga is great as well👍🏼
In Málaga you have the beach, the mountains, the Costa del Sol, a lot of villages inside of the province… You will never get bored. Tradition and modernity, you can look for both.
Valencia también tiene montaña, pueblos del interior y está mejor situada geográficamente para ir a Madrid, Barcelona y las Baleares
@@periquete6557 Beaches in Málaga are better (much more fun - not so huge like Malvarossa so it get packed and it's more alive IMHO). I'm a brazilian who loves beaches so my point has to be considered. And from Málaga we can also get to Baleares in 1:30 hours and it's cheap anyway. And Costa del Sol is better IMHO. From Valencia to Benidorm it takes 1:30h by car which is too long for me. And from Málaga to Torremolinos or Benalmádena it takes only 30-40min by train which is more suitable for any weekend. If you tell me some good options of beaches around (30min maximum) Valencia I would be happy to know.
@@ExplorerOfTheGalaxy We don't go to Benidorm. Denia , Javea or Moraira are 45 min from Valencia and quite better beaches
So nice to see you both collaborating ❤ Great perception of both cities. I used to live in Málaga and although I love the city I ended up in València mainly because of the green spaces and amazing beaches. Love your content, keep up the good work 😉
Son los mejores anfitriones de 2 de las ciudades con más crecimiento de España, la vida tranquila y relajada de estás 2 ciudades hace que sean un atractivo turístico perfecto, además tienen llegada marítima para grandes cruceros y una situación geografía perfecta, con un clima perfecto durante todo el año. Soy un seguidor de Elllot y Antonetta me encantan sus videos
Fascinating topic, gracias!
Love the video!
LOL! Good video!!! I'm from Valencia and Malaga is one of the few cities in Spain where I would go to live. They have much in common.
Great video, gracias muchachos !!!
Браво Тони. Благодарности на теб и Елиот за поредното интерсно видео. Поздрави от България.
The problem with both of these cities, especially Malaga with the cruise ships, is that the restaurants and shops are specifically set up to take advantage of tourists-this means low quality and high prices and rushed service. Locals have time to learn about the mom and pop shops several blocks outside the tourist areas where the local people know the best recipes from the old days and prepare much better food at a much lower price.
Service and quality of food in Malaga is great
Don’ t agree, I’m from Malaga and there are tons of restaurants with a very high quality and service. Maybe you have to live like a local in order to discover these places.
Valencia me parece una ciudad impresionante ,pero Málaga es el sur, gente de una calides y cordialidad de los que vivimos ⬇️ abajo,no digo cque los valencianos no lo sean,pero aquí abunda mas y la zona metropolitana espectacular, Fuengirola, Benalmádena,torrox, Torremolinos, Marbella en su costa y los pueblos blancos de interior, Málaga es elección, que esta a untiro de piedra de cadiz, Granada, Córdoba,Sevilla, que se puede pedir más.
This is a very important video for those of us who have even the thought of moving between the two cities choice. good job.
Well done, both of you!
I was just in Malaga last week. Compared to most cities in the US, it is a paradise. The landscape is beautiful, the "castle" referred to in Malaga is the Alcazaba, a fortress originally built by the Romans, then the Moors, then the Christians. Now, it is a living archeological site. Valencia is a different type of place, flatter and more landscaped. I didn't see "dog crap" everywhere. It's all better than Chicago, Houston, St. Louis, etc. There are no (or very few) homeless, parks are cleaner, people are friendly, food is less expensive, landscaping is much better, weather is great, etc. I'd move to either, but I'm going to Granada. Cordoba is great, too.
Soy de Córdoba y el calor y la falta de lluvia hacen que escape al norte eso sí es vida
@@57ffjjimenez Soy del norte. Y la lluvia continua y el cielo gris me deprime.
Me voy a Córdoba.
@@user-wn4kj6wo6c Bueno ya lo dice el refran " Nunca llueve a gusto de todos" pero el sol un dia tras otro sin una gota de lluvia los campos sedientos los rios sin agua y to seco tambien desespera cuando voy al norte y ver todo verde y regao me da la vida.
@@57ffjjimenez Pues lo mismo le digo. A mí el sol y la alegría del ambiente me da la vida.
Go 20 mins north of Valencia and there is a hidden gem with great amenities
Where?
for me defiantly Valencia, love the wide sandy beaches, thank you Antoanetta☺
This is a great collab. Can you follow up this video with video of something opposite of what you've shown here -- like how do people live and work in offices there. Never seen any people going to office work in your videos (except for the service sector).
En Málaga las gentes son mas agradables simpáticas te reciben con mucho mas calidad, aunque Valencia sea una ciudad impresionante la lengua valenciana un hándicap, Málaga lo tiene todo para vivir
Lástima que los malagueños se olviden de ese "buen carácter" cuando se ponen al volante. Es el único "pero" que les pondría.
Otro hándicap, ya coyuntural, sería la falta de industria... y es que no todos desean dedicarse al comercio y hostelería. Pero bueno, eso no es culpa de los Malagueños, y no se puede tener todo, oye.
Saludos
The video was enjoyable, but it could have included more essential information about Malaga. Malaga has a rich cultural heritage, being a city almost 3000 years old, with high-quality museums and a wide range of cultural activities throughout the year, including opera, theater, classical music, and jazz. The city also offers historic sites and picturesque mountain surroundings. Malaga's hilly terrain, similar to San Francisco, extends to the very edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Its connectivity through Malaga airport makes it an ideal place to live and enjoy an authentic Spanish and international experience. The city also has expansive clean parks, particularly on the west side near the sea, that were not highlighted in the video. Additionally, Malaga airport, just 8km from the city center, is the third largest airport in Spain and is rapidly expanding. It offers direct flights to destinations like New York and Doha, providing better connectivity than Valencia. In my opinion, Malaga has more charm, authenticity, culture, and a better way of life than Valencia.
Malaga is the 4th airport in Spain. Mallorca is 3rd.
To make statements as forceful as the ones you have made you should know both cities in depth. And I deduce that you do not know Valencia at all. For example you talk about Malaga having large clean parks, with high quality museums and a wide range of cultural activities throughout the year, including opera, theater, classical music and jazz, as if Valencia lacked these features. You talk about the advantage of having the airport 8 km away when Valencia airport is at a similar distance and is also connected by metro line. That “Spanish” charm that Malaga has is certainly not Valencia's because outside Spain there is a tendency to confuse the Andalusian: its architecture, music and folklore (flamenco) as if that were the identity of Spain, which is totally wrong. Valencia is not an Andalusian city and therefore does not have that Andalusian charm that is confused with Spanish charm. It has a different kind of charm, which is not the same as lacking charm.
We were in Torremolinos for for for 3 weeks and the beach were beautiful ❤
I am glad that they met, I am a follower of both, but I am more glad that he did not name my city and many others. I like that people go sightseeing and get to know Spain, but European countries are very small and quickly become overcrowded. Tourists don't notice it, but finding a town or a bar like the ones before is starting to be difficult in some areas of Spain. But I like you because you seem to understand it and are reasonable, less merit in the case of Elliot, who is Spanish but thinks he is American.😄
We love both Malaga & Valencia. On the cleanliness question, go to Oviedo if you want to see a really clean city in Spain.
Great Video! - Both great cities but I do prefer Malaga - It is the place to be!! - Thank you both for the Video, great job!!
uuu that man is speaking the hard truth about Malaga! Great video Antoanetta! I'm definitely sticking with Valencia.
I was hoping there would be a link to Elliot's channel in your description!
🧡🧡💛💛💚💚💙💙💜💜🤎🤎My mother is from Malaga my father is from Valencia so my heart is between both cities!! I love both !!
I think, if you want super clean, then Switzerland or Austria may offer this. Some parts of Spain are quite clean in the city centre but on the outskirts it can be less so. I have been to the south of the Valencia Communidad near to the Mar Menor. Overall, it is kept fairly well in the towns and shopping centres.
However, when you walk or cycle in the area and go through the countryside, I couldn't help but notice the rubbish that had been dumped. It was either bottles or cans thrown into the flood viaduct at the edge of the road, or industrial waste left in the bushes, e.g. Large blocks of concrete, broken plant pots, old sofa's, washing machine's and rubble. Also, the trails were not maintained or kept well, plus there is graffiti, in the strangest of places. I accept that this is probably a less well known or visited part of Spain and other parts of the country are cleaner and better managed.
As a generalisation, Nordic countries, seem better kept and managed than Southern European countries, however, they don't have the abundance of sunshine and the same kind of outside living energy. Swings and roundabouts, you can't have it all!
Málaga
Living in Florida I do understand you can live on less money in Spain. But renting a place in Malaga or Valencia are now extremely expensive even for Spaniards.
Valencia, by far.
Hello I research your channel and found you happy to found you ,I am a digital marketing and SEO expert thank you again except my comment,
hello, how about the internet speed in Malaga vs. Valencia, I heard the internet in Malaga is very slow, Is this true? also, the weather, is it the same in both cities? Thank you, great video.
Les faltó decir que en Valencia se les entiende perfectamente cuando hablan en castellano y en Málaga se entiende la mitad.
a mi en particular sobre playas de valencia? me gusta mas las del saler.perelló hacia el sur de valencia.. saludos y gracias a los dos por el video
Exactly that is what I noticed when I was in Marbella few weeks ago at area called San Pedros, it was very disgusting
Málaga ❤
Nice
Valencia is my favourite city - it's amazing -, but I also like Malaga. I used to live in Valencia province, sohave been into the city many times. I've visited Malaga twice. Both are great cities.
I love you all ❤
Málaga💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜
Barcelona and Granada! 😉
Antoinette, please has estado en Julio en VALENCIA ? TODO EL MES DE JULIO, LA FIESTA DE LA FERIA DE JULIO . HAS ESTADO EL LA BATALLA DE FLORES DE JULIO ,ES UNA MARAVILLA ,TIENE LAS DE 135 AÑOS DE CELEBRARSE CADA AÑO. Y LOS WEEKENDS FIREWORK,Y MUCHÍSIMAS ACTIVIDADES TODOS LOS DIAS .
Great video! Thanks to out this comparison between this two cities. We love more Valencia over Malaga. Nevertheless Malaga is a beautiful city. Zoe and Ramon
Valencia 💪💪✌️✌️
As a citizen of Málaga, I'm not going to get into debates about whether Valencia or Málaga is the better city; I guess it depends on what you're looking for... That said, in Málaga, prices are through the roof, and there's no room for anyone else. I have a feeling it's the same story in Valencia. So instead of moving to Málaga or Valencia, it's better to choose smaller cities or towns around those cities, which are already super congested.
And I'm saying this for those who come with money... if you're coming as an immigrant worker, it's better not to come (at least to Málaga), because unemployment is still quite high and salaries at most are enough to rent a room, unless you're in a couple and have two incomes.
How about Alicante?
Thanks for an interesting duo video. I'm a fan of both of you. Regarding beaches, Nerja has much choice. I really like the beach of Fuengirola to the South of the marina, very nice!
Málaga esta muy bonita pero ha pagado un precio muy alto, en fechas señaladas es agobiante la cantidad de gente que hay.
wow
Así es el Rico Primer Mundo de €spaña.❤
I would rather go to the North of Spain where beaches are beautiful. It is green and summers are cooler…and not as touristy…and housing much cheaper.

Mallorca is the best place on earth because it is the legit Promised Land but people werent supposed to know this until the end of times(now)that's why people had to have the spiritual awakening because they werent taught the truth/real history in school.We are in the age of aquarius which is when the truth would be revealed.Having an open mind is vital and a blessing.Freedom is coming.
Malaga pros:
- Nice clean beaches
- Culturally impressive, lots of art and museums
- Affordable to live
Malaga cons:
- Noisy religious ceremonies
Valencia pros:
- Two nice parks
Valencia cons:
- Dirty smelly beaches and waters. I got rashes from swimming in Malvarossa
- Very expensive to live and rent there and for no reason as the flats are of bad quality and have cockroaches
- Dirty streets, pavements full of dog poop
Let’s all agree there is not such a thing as an “expat” living in those circumstances. What’s wrong with being an immigrant?
Valencia winner!! Visca Valencia!!!
Mucho mejor Málaga, por favor id a Málaga en Valencia se esta muy mal, todo caro, todo lleno, Málaga 👍
Sorry Almería is mejor ciudad of de World 😅😂❤muchas tapas baratas
Honestamente, me preocupa la gentrificación muchas veces que veo estos vídeos…
Valencia es más completa, más ciudad , más importante.
Sí tú lo dices...
De Valencia, no?
Expensive apartments and housing unless you get out of the city because of expats and tourists these place are not affordable anymore 😂😂
Bangkok
U can’t compare Valencia to Malaga, the question is Alicante or Málaga? Alicante has bigger airport, more tourism, more expats, more foreign people, is more international and cosmopolitan than Valencia. Alicante and Malaga are 100% open to sea cities. Is not the case of Valencia. Valencia has to be compared with Bilbao or Sevilla. All Russian, Britain, Swiss, Norwegian, European people when they get retired they go to Alicante or Malaga.
Sorry, alicante is more better 😂😂😂
No just no
It is beautiful only at the center, Albufereta is ugly, they spoiled the beautiful nature and the beach.

Sevilla y madrid 😊😊😊
En Malaga no necesitamos mas turistas, iros todos a Valencia, alli estareis bien. Malaga es un parque de atracciones para turistas y un infierno para el Malagueño.
А ха ха 😂
Ugly brown town
Valencia es mucho mejor
ninguna de las dos son tremenda mente agobiantes muchos turistas y muy caro todo hay opciones mejores y mas tranquilas
Better France.

Para deprimirse seguro.
@@tamaramadelin4831 may i ask where did you live in France 14years? Curious because you mentioned its dangers :/
@@clove6435 I lived in Aix en Provence and the countryside outside of Bordeaux. I never felt like it was dangerous, but there is more and more violence mainly in the bigger cities...My French husband keeps up on the news. We live in Portugal now.
