So what do you know about Malaga.....
So what do you know about Malaga? Birthplace of Picasso and Antonio Banderas perhaps, well I am proud to say it will be the new haunt of this chica. After much debate and let's face it a sheer case of the scared *** less, I decided I will do this. I accepted a position to be an English Language and Cultural Assistant in Malaga, Spain. Anyone who knows me, knows I have had a love affair with Spain since I first visited and studied there 14 yrs ago. Afterwards, any chance I got to go, I went..I did have short detour when I live in Buenos Aires for a bit back in 2008; however, Spain kept calling ( for the record I'm not dissing BsAs because I love Argentina too and I haven't ruled out returning there as well). I'm not sure where this new adventure will lead, but I do know that it is time for me to move on and take a chance. I have been taking graduate classes in education, specifically TESOL and International Studies. Finally, I am grabbing a hold of that Plan B I spoke about. This has been tough, I am leaving friends and family I adore and a job that pays me very well for a job that will pay me peanuts but I have to follow my passion. Someone once said that if you do what you love, the money will follow. Ummm we shall see... I do know that I have to stay true to my philosophy... I want to live and not just exist in this world. So hello Malaga...let the living begin.

Hi Christine,
My name is Rosa, I am from Spain, Madrid but I am currently living in Malaga. I saw you posted a comment on Love and Paella blog regarding you are going to move to Malaga( Huelin)in September. I live close by and I am friend of Sarah too, so if I can help you with something please let me know. Welcome to Spain! Rosa.
Hi Rosa,
Thank you so much. September will be here soon...so much to do. Any suggestions on where I should look for apartments? I would like to be in walking distance of shops, etc... but I don't mind quiet either..well maybe not too quiet. :o)
Sorry Christine for not getting back to you before, I was on vacation until yesterday :).
I understand you were looking at living in Huelin area..I live close but not right there exactly and I wouldn´t recomend it as it is near the city centre ( by bus) and the beach ( walking distance) but there aren´t many shops, etc.. Huelin was a fishing village before becoming part of Malaga and it still remains a little bit like this until now.
I think you might like Malagueta area more. Its location is the best in Malaga, it is within a walking distance to almost everything; downtown, beach, monuments, shops, restaurants, cafes, etc. It is very nice.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks again Rosa. I can't wait to get there and get started. ahhhhhhh
