    The problem with both of these cities, especially Malaga with the cruise ships, is that the restaurants and shops are specifically set up to take advantage of tourists-this means low quality and high prices and rushed service. Locals have time to learn about the mom and pop shops several blocks outside the tourist areas where the local people know the best recipes from the old days and prepare much better food at a much lower price.

      @@periquete6557 Beaches in Málaga are better (much more fun - not so huge like Malvarossa so it get packed and it's more alive IMHO). I'm a brazilian who loves beaches so my point has to be considered. And from Málaga we can also get to Baleares in 1:30 hours and it's cheap anyway. And Costa del Sol is better IMHO. From Valencia to Benidorm it takes 1:30h by car which is too long for me. And from Málaga to Torremolinos or Benalmádena it takes only 30-40min by train which is more suitable for any weekend. If you tell me some good options of beaches around (30min maximum) Valencia I would be happy to know.

    I am glad that they met, I am a follower of both, but I am more glad that he did not name my city and many others. I like that people go sightseeing and get to know Spain, but European countries are very small and quickly become overcrowded. Tourists don't notice it, but finding a town or a bar like the ones before is starting to be difficult in some areas of Spain. But I like you because you seem to understand it and are reasonable, less merit in the case of Elliot, who is Spanish but thinks he is American.😄

    I was just in Malaga last week. Compared to most cities in the US, it is a paradise. The landscape is beautiful, the "castle" referred to in Malaga is the Alcazaba, a fortress originally built by the Romans, then the Moors, then the Christians. Now, it is a living archeological site. Valencia is a different type of place, flatter and more landscaped. I didn't see "dog crap" everywhere. It's all better than Chicago, Houston, St. Louis, etc. There are no (or very few) homeless, parks are cleaner, people are friendly, food is less expensive, landscaping is much better, weather is great, etc. I'd move to either, but I'm going to Granada. Cordoba is great, too.

    I think, if you want super clean, then Switzerland or Austria may offer this. Some parts of Spain are quite clean in the city centre but on the outskirts it can be less so. I have been to the south of the Valencia Communidad near to the Mar Menor. Overall, it is kept fairly well in the towns and shopping centres.
    However, when you walk or cycle in the area and go through the countryside, I couldn't help but notice the rubbish that had been dumped. It was either bottles or cans thrown into the flood viaduct at the edge of the road, or industrial waste left in the bushes, e.g. Large blocks of concrete, broken plant pots, old sofa's, washing machine's and rubble. Also, the trails were not maintained or kept well, plus there is graffiti, in the strangest of places. I accept that this is probably a less well known or visited part of Spain and other parts of the country are cleaner and better managed.
    As a generalisation, Nordic countries, seem better kept and managed than Southern European countries, however, they don't have the abundance of sunshine and the same kind of outside living energy. Swings and roundabouts, you can't have it all!

      Lástima que los malagueños se olviden de ese "buen carácter" cuando se ponen al volante. Es el único "pero" que les pondría.
      Otro hándicap, ya coyuntural, sería la falta de industria... y es que no todos desean dedicarse al comercio y hostelería. Pero bueno, eso no es culpa de los Malagueños, y no se puede tener todo, oye.

    The video was enjoyable, but it could have included more essential information about Malaga. Malaga has a rich cultural heritage, being a city almost 3000 years old, with high-quality museums and a wide range of cultural activities throughout the year, including opera, theater, classical music, and jazz. The city also offers historic sites and picturesque mountain surroundings. Malaga's hilly terrain, similar to San Francisco, extends to the very edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Its connectivity through Malaga airport makes it an ideal place to live and enjoy an authentic Spanish and international experience. The city also has expansive clean parks, particularly on the west side near the sea, that were not highlighted in the video. Additionally, Malaga airport, just 8km from the city center, is the third largest airport in Spain and is rapidly expanding. It offers direct flights to destinations like New York and Doha, providing better connectivity than Valencia. In my opinion, Malaga has more charm, authenticity, culture, and a better way of life than Valencia.

    As a citizen of Málaga, I'm not going to get into debates about whether Valencia or Málaga is the better city; I guess it depends on what you're looking for... That said, in Málaga, prices are through the roof, and there's no room for anyone else. I have a feeling it's the same story in Valencia. So instead of moving to Málaga or Valencia, it's better to choose smaller cities or towns around those cities, which are already super congested.
    And I'm saying this for those who come with money... if you're coming as an immigrant worker, it's better not to come (at least to Málaga), because unemployment is still quite high and salaries at most are enough to rent a room, unless you're in a couple and have two incomes.

    U can’t compare Valencia to Malaga, the question is Alicante or Málaga? Alicante has bigger airport, more tourism, more expats, more foreign people, is more international and cosmopolitan than Valencia. Alicante and Malaga are 100% open to sea cities. Is not the case of Valencia. Valencia has to be compared with Bilbao or Sevilla. All Russian, Britain, Swiss, Norwegian, European people when they get retired they go to Alicante or Malaga.
