Malaga

Posted by Strawberry_Shortcake (832 days ago)

I would like to move there to learn Spanish (I already speak a good level), just want to know if this place is full of tourists or does one need to speak spanish in order to get by (which is what I prefer, for the whole immersion experience)? Anyone knows?

Malaga is full of British tourists prob around 20 flights a day from UK, you wont need to speak Spanish to get around.

mmm.. for studying purposes, you reckon I shouldn't go there for studying spanish? Just hoping to get an opinion before I pay my deposit.

To be honest, Malaga is just one big tourist destination full of old brits. I would suggest going to either barcelona or madrid where students are more common and I expect you would have much more fun.

Sevilla or Salamanca are great places to live and study Spanish too. I think you would have more fun and learn more in a smaller city. Malaga would be ok, it's a very touristy destination, but the locals are very nice. Grananda is a great option too.
