There are so many cities and universities in Spain, all of them with a great university environment, so it is difficult to know which one best suits our needs. We offer you a guide with the advantages and disadvantages of each city, so that you can decide the best place for you to study in Spain.

Malaga is the sixth most populous city in Spain and it has one of the highest quality of life standards. It has everything you can ask for in a city: museums, restaurants, sea and mountains, and even an airport.

Weather: In Malaga, the weather is exceptional. With more than 300 sunny days a year. The more light there is, the more you will want to go out and enjoy every day. This area is called the Costa del Sol for a reason.

Geography: As in Granada, in Malaga you can enjoy both the mountains and the beach. You can get lost in the Sierra de las Nieves and do some of its hiking routes. If you like the sea more, you can go to the Mediterranean beaches.

Reputation: Within Andalusia, Malaga is the city with the best reputation. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the Andalusian atmosphere and culture, this could be one of the most interesting options.

Size and price: Malaga is midpoint in both size and price. It is not one of the most expensive cities, on the contrary, the average cost of living for students is quite affordable, but it is not the cheapest either. As for the size, it is an average city, since it is not one of the largest nor is it one of the small cities mainly made up of students.

In the last 20 years, the historic center of Malaga has undergone many changes and transformations, which have caused some inconveniences for residents:

Noise, cleanliness and safety: The greater the nightlife on offer, the lower the quality of cleanliness and safety in the city. And noise is also something important to consider if you plan to live in the center of the city.

Size and price: This can also be a disadvantage depending on your preferences. Being neither very large nor very small and the price is also somewhere in the middle, it may not meet your specific needs.

If you are a lover of medium-sized cities, with a close atmosphere, mild temperatures and quality of life, this may be the perfect Spanish city for you to live while you study. Although its academic offer is not one of the most impressive in Spain, other aspects of the city will make you decide on Malaga.
