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.
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 😉
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.
@@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.
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
I love Valencia as well, the warm beautiful sea, sand beaches, and yes full of green areas, it is a beautiful city, only downside are the dog 💩 and sometimes the smell of sewage. And I really really love the locals from Malaga, their happiness is contagious. I’ve lived in both. I have nice memories from my teenager-hood and early adulthood from both places. My heart is divided between both! I now live in London, the parks here are what I like the most but I really miss Spain. One day… I’ll be back..
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.
@@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.
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
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.
We didn't make it to Malaga, but we spent a lot of time in Valencia. We loved the river area between the Science Building and to the Ocean near the Zoo where they have a long park that's very well done. I remember walking all the way to the Zoo, but the zoo seemed so small and expensive, so I told the family we'll just visit the zoo when we return to Phoenix that has an excellent zoo that's reasonable. We walked EVERYWHERE in Valencia and enjoyed it a lot - a good friend that used to work for me lives there and we stayed with him and he traveled with us, too, along with two of our daughters. Oh, my wife Antonia is from Brasil, so she really enjoyed travel in Spain and in Portugal.
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! C.J Ireland.
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 miss your videos! We were in Valencia for the first time and loved it. We have your guide and checked out Gran Via, El Carmen and so many recommendations of yours. We loved the Almalibre Acai House! We need more of your wisdom. I hope you come back soon.
Having been to both cities many times, without and with our children, I'd pick Málaga everytime. Yes, Valencia has the Turia park. Both the Malagueñas are way more friendly, and welcoming. In general, I find people in Valencia very closed and unfriendly. Hostile even. Especially wit hchildren, you really notice the difference between people from Valencia and Malagueñas. Also, there's more sun in Málaga ;)
Fantastic video, you two! And a great honest comparison between the two cities. I was in Malaga last February but not in Valencia yet. I believe you are from SoCal, @Antoanetta - what about comparing San Diego to Valencia. I think it would be interesting.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Soy valenciano y amo mi ciudad por muchísimos motivos , conozco malaga y es preciosa , que voy a decir si tengo descendencia andaluza Conozco mucho Andalucía y para vivir elegiría valencia sin dudas Pero eso si , sin menos preciar a malaga que para mi es la la segunda mejor ciudad de España sin dudas para vivir Valencia es una ciudad llana y muy estensa , así que los turistas nos se masifican en una zona sin no en varios puntos de la ciudad , lo que la hace menos estresante Tb diría que cualquier ciudad de España es perfecta para vivir sin duda!!!!
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).
I love Valencia & am an ex-pat, though Russafa is seriously overrated & seems to have am ex-pat obsession. Fine to visit, but I would not choose to live there 24/7. There are other parts of Valencia that are much cheaper and have more of a sense of community!
I loved both! Congratulations on the video! For those who enjoy sports (mountain biking, trail running) and beach sports (kitesurfing), which of the 2 cities do you think you would enjoy the most? And which beach?
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
Hola crack, soy valenciano de 27 años y nunca en mi vida he tenido que usar el valenciano en la ciudad de Valencia, así que no es ningún handicap. Distinto sería si te vas a pueblos del interior, pero la ciudad está llena de inmigrantes y el valenciano no se usa prácticamente. Saludos!
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.
I was in Malaga in February of this year - and the food is cheaper as compared to the US. You can go to any restaurant and the house wine will be 3 to 6 Euro. The same in San Diego where I'm from would be 10 to 13 dollars. Past and food was also at least 40% cheaper than in California, plus no extra for tax, and tip. I haven't tried Valencia yet, but am watching this video to see if I should go, and I think I must.
I was thinking Malaga because a tiny bit warmer in winter and quaint, lower cost of living, BUT THEN I saw the beaches of Valencia - that did it for me. That's like Coronado Island in San Diego - football field sizes lol. - Valencia wins
Is Malaga really warmer in autumn, winter and spring? The sea is about 5-6C wamer (the sea at Marbella/Malaga gets inflow from the cold Atlantic, even in summer the sea water temp does nog get above 21, which makes it a no-swim for me). Valencia waters are 26C in summer. Maybe Malaga is more sunny , in winter… but wamer?
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!
There's a beach North of Valencia that's nicer, so I usually went there; then, once for fireworks it was the best place to go. There's a shopping center there and also a large condo project and, furthermore, a pleasure harbor, too. This was nice for restaurants and beach goiners.
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
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 .
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.
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.
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
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.
Malvarosa in Valencia has unnessarily huge width. Looks empty, with very limited facilities, very primitive "restaurants" that I would rather call cafes. Send is fine, pretty clean of rubbish, no broken shells, but very dusty. I have never seen this anywhere else. You can see it in a water too, where the waves break. Water looks dirty and not transparent at those places, where waves brake. There is a prominade, but its arranged in a very stupid way: sea is very far, and nothing on the city side, but horrible gypsy area and a lot of few centuries old ugly 2-3 floors houses, falling apart. Dangerous area too. Another thing: downtown is very far from the beach. So, either, or, not both together. Instead, the proper and cozy arrangement should be kind of Alicante, Malaga, Benidorm style - not extremely wide beach, promenade along the beach, so you can enjoy the water proximity, and downtown with real restaurants right on the other side of the promenade. Valencia fails on all if this. Really uncomfortable arrangement. I was dissapointed. Green? Valencia is very dry, Turia park looks dry too. All parks have a dusty roads instead of tiles, so your shoes are always dusty. If you want to see really green places, visit the north of Spain! Costa Blanca and Costa de Sol are dry, mountains are bold.
That's funny; I've been to Malaga a couple of times and never encountered dog poop or pee on the pavements or anywhere. I couldn't see a single cigarette butt in the streets, and I wasn't staying only in the center. Valencia, on the other hand-I have been living here for almost two years-is disgusting in regards to the stench of pee and poop at every corner. There are plenty of smokers who just throw away their cigarettes everywhere, without even putting them out. It's utterly disgusting. And yes, I'm seriously considering moving to Malaga.
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.
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.
Unfortunately, this is what Valencian regional bureaucracy looks like. Too many chiefs; not enough Indians to lead properly. This is a tragedy of epic proportion that will have an economic impact on Valencia for years to come. It will take incredible urban planning measures for this not to happen again. The immediate impact on jobs, lives and property’s is unimaginable. Paiporta is a hardworking blue collar community, this is an unimaginable loss that was preventable. Animo Valencia, we hear your pain!

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.

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.
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.

Hola crack, soy valenciano de 27 años y nunca en mi vida he tenido que usar el valenciano en la ciudad de Valencia, así que no es ningún handicap. Distinto sería si te vas a pueblos del interior, pero la ciudad está llena de inmigrantes y el valenciano no se usa prácticamente. Saludos!

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.
I was in Malaga in February of this year - and the food is cheaper as compared to the US. You can go to any restaurant and the house wine will be 3 to 6 Euro. The same in San Diego where I'm from would be 10 to 13 dollars. Past and food was also at least 40% cheaper than in California, plus no extra for tax, and tip. I haven't tried Valencia yet, but am watching this video to see if I should go, and I think I must.
I was thinking Malaga because a tiny bit warmer in winter and quaint, lower cost of living, BUT THEN I saw the beaches of Valencia - that did it for me. That's like Coronado Island in San Diego - football field sizes lol. - Valencia wins
Is Malaga really warmer in autumn, winter and spring? The sea is about 5-6C wamer (the sea at Marbella/Malaga gets inflow from the cold Atlantic, even in summer the sea water temp does nog get above 21, which makes it a no-swim for me). Valencia waters are 26C in summer.
Maybe Malaga is more sunny , in winter… but wamer?
@@henq nice points, I am just going on what I’ve read, no actual experience.
I appreciate the input
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!
uuu that man is speaking the hard truth about Malaga! Great video Antoanetta! I'm definitely sticking with Valencia.
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
There's a beach North of Valencia that's nicer, so I usually went there; then, once for fireworks it was the best place to go. There's a shopping center there and also a large condo project and, furthermore, a pleasure harbor, too. This was nice for restaurants and beach goiners.
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
There is no best. They are both fabulous, just different.
Málaga ❤
Q: What city offers better *weather* in autumn, winter and spring? Where can you sit late in the evening outside without vest because it gets chilly ?
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 .
I was hoping there would be a link to Elliot's channel in your description!
Great video, gracias muchachos !!!
Málaga💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜
Valencia all day👌🏽
Hey Antoanetta, Where are you from originally? You mentioned LA which is where i'm from, but i hear an accent.
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.
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.
Valencia 💪💪✌️✌️
Does anyone know what happened to Antoanetta? It’s been a while since her last video. I hope she’s fine…
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
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.
Love your content… been a while since any new ones… hope everything is good.. ❤
I love you all ❤
I’m sad there are no new videos 😢
How about Alicante?
I have missed you I’d been watching you since the beginning from Los Angeles how do I find your jewlery
I was wondering about her too. Her last video was 4 months ago with Elliot. I hope he’s not the reason why she dissapeared 🤨
Antoanetta, are you ok over there in Valencia? I hope so.
Браво Тони. Благодарности на теб и Елиот за поредното интерсно видео. Поздрави от България.
Málaga esta muy bonita pero ha pagado un precio muy alto, en fechas señaladas es agobiante la cantidad de gente que hay.
Valencia, by far.
Best is Antalya)
Malvarosa in Valencia has unnessarily huge width. Looks empty, with very limited facilities, very primitive "restaurants" that I would rather call cafes. Send is fine, pretty clean of rubbish, no broken shells, but very dusty. I have never seen this anywhere else. You can see it in a water too, where the waves break. Water looks dirty and not transparent at those places, where waves brake. There is a prominade, but its arranged in a very stupid way: sea is very far, and nothing on the city side, but horrible gypsy area and a lot of few centuries old ugly 2-3 floors houses, falling apart. Dangerous area too. Another thing: downtown is very far from the beach. So, either, or, not both together. Instead, the proper and cozy arrangement should be kind of Alicante, Malaga, Benidorm style - not extremely wide beach, promenade along the beach, so you can enjoy the water proximity, and downtown with real restaurants right on the other side of the promenade. Valencia fails on all if this. Really uncomfortable arrangement. I was dissapointed.
Green? Valencia is very dry, Turia park looks dry too. All parks have a dusty roads instead of tiles, so your shoes are always dusty.
If you want to see really green places, visit the north of Spain! Costa Blanca and Costa de Sol are dry, mountains are bold.
Antoanetta’s last video was with Elliot. I’m wondering if he did something wrong to her and that’s why she dissapeared from RUclips 🧐
both are part of the suburbs of Bilbao.
Random question but what languages do you speak? Btw like your accent lol
2 great u tubers

That's funny; I've been to Malaga a couple of times and never encountered dog poop or pee on the pavements or anywhere. I couldn't see a single cigarette butt in the streets, and I wasn't staying only in the center. Valencia, on the other hand-I have been living here for almost two years-is disgusting in regards to the stench of pee and poop at every corner. There are plenty of smokers who just throw away their cigarettes everywhere, without even putting them out. It's utterly disgusting.
And yes, I'm seriously considering moving to Malaga.
Les faltó decir que en Valencia se les entiende perfectamente cuando hablan en castellano y en Málaga se entiende la mitad.
Nice
se hace raro no ver a eliot comiendo y bebiendo de gorra
Sorry Almería is mejor ciudad of de World 😅😂❤muchas tapas baratas
Honestamente, me preocupa la gentrificación muchas veces que veo estos vídeos…
wow
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.
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.
Malaga is andalusia you can't fine better weather then andalusia Málaga...malaga is the love
Es como comparar new york con Washington..not posible😂
Valencia winner!! Visca Valencia!!!
Why does that guy even live in Malaga? He seems to hate the place...
Unfortunately, this is what Valencian regional bureaucracy looks like. Too many chiefs; not enough Indians to lead properly. This is a tragedy of epic proportion that will have an economic impact on Valencia for years to come. It will take incredible urban planning measures for this not to happen again. The immediate impact on jobs, lives and property’s is unimaginable. Paiporta is a hardworking blue collar community, this is an unimaginable loss that was preventable. Animo Valencia, we hear your pain!
Mucho mejor Málaga, por favor id a Málaga en Valencia se esta muy mal, todo caro, todo lleno, Málaga 👍
Let’s all agree there is not such a thing as an “expat” living in those circumstances. What’s wrong with being an immigrant?
Expensive apartments and housing unless you get out of the city because of expats and tourists these place are not affordable anymore 😂😂
You are correct, and it is not funny at all!
