Why this latest ebook?

Malaga and the Costa del Sol have been popular relocation spots for years. But a combination of factors has put this spot in southern Spain on the must-move-to map more firmly than ever before.

Between them Covid-19 and Brexit have made more people look long and hard at where they live. Enjoying year-round sunshine has become even more desirable. So have fresh air and being by the sea. Add to these, great connections and quality lifestyle and it’s easy to see why Malaga and Costa del Sol have taken centre stage on the relocation radar.
