The place, plainly

A real Spanish city, not just a resort.

Málaga averages €3,937/m² (2026), based on idealista market data — though it moves barrio by barrio rather than as one flat figure, and it’s the market I know street by street. The airport, the high-speed AVE and the port all sit in the city.
