Málaga is a relatively warm place to spend Winter. We often get rain at the end of October and again in November, as well as March which was more considerable in 2025 - for the first time in 20 years.
Business wise it is changing slowly to be a place where there is work. But the remote work and digital nomad trend has not really helped this, as they either do not network or recruit locally or contribute long-term. There is however some good Spanish networking to be had. And that is why most people came in the past to Maĺaga, to meet Spanish people.
Unfortunately, the centro has rapidly changed, and no longer has any Spanish people living in it. Gentrification from wealthy nations moving here, made it expensive. It is not just the fault of AirBnb obviously. It would be great if more of the people moving were commercially active in someway i.e. recruiting for jobs. But it is generally not the case.
For me, I working in technology and after 2 years of managing a remote startup across Europe, I now would like some more inperson work. Our team will colocate, but maybe they work for a remote client. It is good to see people who support each other in a team a few times a week.
