Live or Holiday in Spain?

Question

How many people out there would seriously consider buying an apartment in Malaga- Spain?

Answer 1

I would love to do both!! I really want to live there only if I can get a good job there.

Answer 2

If it were an apartment that you could rent out as a vacation property, I would say go for it. I would have to agree with the person above who spoke about moving to Japan. I always thought I would love living in Europe and am desperately pining for home right now. The grass is not always greener unfortunately.

Answer 3

I'd love to visit!

Answer 4

Today, Malaga is a modern city, with an important commercial port, airport and university. Capital of the Coast of the Sun, it is one of the main tourist regions in the Spanish peninsula and it enjoys an exceptional climate throughout the year.

Answer 5

both

Answer 6

I've spent a couple days in Malaga and liked it, but that wasn't nearly enough to make me want to buy an apartment. I would suggest visiting for an extended period of time, like a month or two, and then decide if you'd want to live and work there.

Answer 7

I would have to say 'No.' I always wanted to go to Japan and I thought the best way to really experience Japan would be to work and live here. I ended up hating it and now I'm stuck here. I miss the convenience of the life I had back home. Also, I've developed a bit of a bad attitude toward Japan that I wouldn't have had if I had chosen to vacation here instead of move here.

If you're trying to decide - I would say 'Holiday' over 'Live'.

Answer 8

I've lived in Spain many years but would never consider buying an apartment in Malaga as it is far too touristic for me.

I enjoy living in a rural area - 'far from the madding crowds'

Depends what you are into though.

Hope it helped.
