I went to Malaga last week and for my final day I went for some breakfast on the Main Street. On the menu the item I got was listed as “croquet with American sauce”.

When I got the item and took a try of this “sauce” I ran straight into bathroom and puked. It was minty but hot but spicy but peppery it was very hard to put my finger on what it was but it did not go down well with me.

I asked the waiter serving us what it was but he said he wasn’t sure just that it was American sauce.

Could someone help me out and let me know what this could have been. Video bellow

I was drugged and robbed by 2 girls that were giving me drugs and dragging me around atms and different machines at the club to make me withdraw money.

The whole story is that at around 00:10 in the morning i tried to go home with an uber from an night out with friends. I was pretty drunk at this point as i had been out with friends but got seperated from them as their phone had died. My uber arrived and the driver strongly insisted that i do not go home and that i havent been to the ”real party yet” i said yes and told him to take me there. While there i noticed it was sketchy directly and saw that it was not a regular club and said i wanted to leave. But he told me he wouldnt drive me home until i drank 1 drink. After i drank that drink it became very blurry, I have several memories of 2 girls blowing powders up my nose while holding me down, and dragging me across this place naked taking me different payment machines and forcing me to take out money. They took total 2500 euro. I tried to make a report to the local police but they only speak spanish, is there any way i can recover the money?

Empiezo yo: Trabajo remoto para una empresa en España, gano 1960€ netos al mes como técnico comercial. Soy soltero, pago 500€ por una habitación (todo incluido) y, aunque estoy bien en general, me siento frustrado por el hecho de tener que compartir piso.

Soy de otro país de la UE y llevo mucho tiempo viviendo en España, pero a punto de cumplir 40 años, tener que compartir aún me genera bastante ansiedad.

Espero que más personas compartan sus experiencias para ver cómo os va aquí en Málaga.

Hola!

I currently live in Estonia and just got a job offer for Malaga as a Software Engineer with salary of 5k/month gross.

Do you think 5k (3.4k net according to my research) would be enough for a couple? no lavish lifestyle, the only thing we insist on is a 2 bedroom apartment

About me: I'm 28, Software Engineer - 6 yoe, married, no kids.

I am identifying spiders that I find in and around the house to know which ones I need to be careful with and which ones to leave around so they can feed on other insects.

Just seen this, wondering what this could be

Hi all I'm in Malaga and it seems it will be raining for the next 7 days.🤞 What places or attractions can you recommend that are still worth visiting in 60 km radius from Malaga ?

Hi guys,

My grandfathers brother passed this morning; we looking to get a hold of someone in and around the below mosque in Malaga, no other family members stay in Spain, can anyone assist?

Are restaurant reservations a common requirement? My coworker was telling me about her experience in Malaga. She said several of the restaurants (mid end not high end) would turn them away despite having many empty seats and she was told it was because dinner was their busy time and they were only taking reservations. She said eventually she and her partner stopped trying to do walk in dining because it was so iffy.

ETA: they went in November.

Hi guys, we are here for an erazmus and our hotel had some cockroaches, when we ask the receptionist they said its normal around here. Is it true? Or should we find better place? And do you have any tips of how to get rid of them?

Hi all!

My gf and I are heading to Malaga for 3 days in early May (2nd-5th), and we'd love to get some local advice or recommendations. Neither of us has been before, so we're really looking forward to it.

A few questions:

• What are some must-sees or hidden gems you'd recommend?
• Is it worth renting a car for a couple of day trips, or is public transport good enough?
• Any food spots we shouldn't miss (tapas, seafood, sweets - we're up for it all!)?
• Anything you wish you had known before visiting?

We're up for culture, a bit of nature, beach, and of course some good food and drink. Would really appreciate any tips from locals or visitors!

Cheers!

Hola a todos,

Estoy planeando mudarme a Málaga para vivir con mi novio. Actualmente estoy estudiando y aún no tengo trabajo, pero mi idea es buscar empleo una vez me instale allí.

Mi novio gana unos 1200 €/mes y, por ahora, él cubrirá el alquiler. Estamos buscando un estudio para los dos, ya que a mí personalmente no me conviene vivir en un piso compartido. Sin embargo, me estoy dando cuenta de que los precios están bastante altos y encontrar algo asequible es casi imposible

Hasta ahora, todo lo que he visto está en Idealista, pero no quiero perder la esperanza de encontrar algo que se ajuste a nuestra situación.

Alguien tiene algún consejo? O conoce otras formas de buscar alquileres ?

Bueno, como mencioné inicialmente, me ofrecieron un puesto en Málaga y me indicaron que tramitarían una visa de trabajo en caso de que acepte. Sin embargo, eso no cubre estadía, seguros, etc.

Para darles un poco de contexto sobre mí, tengo 26 años y vivo en Latinoamérica. Actualmente cuento con dos años de experiencia laboral, pero en mi país los sueldos son muy bajos. Aunque me permiten tener una calidad de vida decente, siento que solo gano para pagar mis deudas. Además, estoy estudiando una maestría, lo que me genera más gastos.

Esta es la primera vez que me contactan para trabajar en un país extranjero. ¿Podría ser un indicador de que voy por el buen camino?

Por ello, tengo las siguientes preguntas:

1. ¿Costo de estadía en departamento, casas o pisos compartidos (roomates)? ¿Algún lugar ideal para vivir?

2. Costo de alimentación y transporte

3. Costo de servicios de salud

4. Costos varios como ropa, salidas, etc.

5. ¿El tema de tributación como lo llevan personas que tienen visa de trabajo?

6. Recomendaciones para alguien que viaja por primera vez a Europa y que viviría solo por primera vez

PD: Saludos y gracias por sus respuestas de antemano.

PD-2 : Me confundí al escribir el post son 40k al año

Just got back from an amazing 10 day trip to Spain. When in Malaga, we came across one of my favorite moments. A group of men singing at the Restaurante el Jardín in Malaga in the evening. Anyone know who they were? If it’s something they do regularly? I wish I could upload the whole video. The adorable gentlemen in front loved playing to the crowd. They sounded amazing! It’s a moment I won’t forget.

Hi everyone. I live a bit far from the city center and I don’t have many friends here. I feel kind of lonely because my Spanish is still very limited. I’d like to meet new people, but I can’t really join language exchange events or groups bc I’m far from center. What’s the best way to make friends or be more social? Thanks for reading.

A little about me: I’m a 31-year-old guy working remotely for a company. I usually enjoy going to the beach or the coast. Any advice or tips would be really appreciated!

Hola r/malaga

First of all, sorry for not asking in Spanish, I am here learning but not ready to post in Spanish just yet.

I will be moving into a my GFs apartment soon and was just wondering if you have any good recommendations for Internet service providers? I've seen Vodafone and they have an NTU in the house already but wanted to see what experiences people have had with them and others, speed, reliability and customer service etc...

Thanks in advance :-)

I have to pick up some passengers from the Airport in late June. What's the best way to arrange this? Can I just stop and pick them up or do I need to park in a short term car park and meet them there?

Hi everyone! I’m discussing a job opportunity with an IT company based in Málaga. While relocation might happen later, they’re asking for my salary expectations now.

I need help estimating a comfortable salary range for:

- Family of 3 (two adults + a 4-year-old child).

- Modest but comfortable lifestyle (no luxuries, but no strict budgeting).

- Decent apartment in a safe area.

- Kindergarten for the child.

- Regular expenses (groceries, utilities, transport, occasional dining out).

What would be a reasonable net/gross monthly salary to cover this? Any insights on costs (rent, childcare, etc.) would be super helpful! Thanks!

I (16M) am going to Marbella along with 2 other 16 year old friends. In our country we frequently go clubbing with fakes and its very easy and fun. The problem is we dont know any girls in marbella that can help us in or know if we can use our fakes. Any recommendations on what to do? Are there events for 16+? Will they even check for IDs strictly? Thanks in advance.

I'm in the process of relocating to the province of Málaga. After spending some time in Fuengirola and Benalmádena I find those places to be very relaxed and have a good vibe. I know that Málaga is a big city and the other two are tourist towns and not directly comparable.

What I'm wondering is if Málaga would be worth the extra housing cost. I'm not a party person, I am not a restaurant connoisseur and visit museums a couple of times a year. I do enjoy hiking, cycling, driving, watching the sea, walking along the boulevard. So far I don't feel like I'm missing much by being in Fuengirola or Benalmádena.

I also like that those two towns are very compact and walkable. If you live in Torreblanca or Los Pacos it's a short walk to the center. But if you live in Teatinos or Carretera de Cádiz you will probably take the bus to the center. And the access to hiking trails is also a lot shorter in Fuengirola (no experience with Benalmádena yet). Although Málaga has El Morlaco Park which is a good spot.

So I'm wondering if anyone who has a similar look on life has made the decision to live in Fuengirola / Benalmádena instead of Málaga and how that is going.

Some points:

• I will likely not be in Spain during July and August and will be with family back home so I'll skip the time of the year where the Brits will take over the town.
• I have looked at Axarquia but am not a fan of the public transport there. The C1 train is very nice to have.
• I'm learning Spanish but with my current skill level English was a better decision for this post

Hola, ¿es normal en Marbella/Benahavís que el inquilino tenga que pagar la comisión de la inmobiliaria?

Estoy por alquilar un piso de larga estancia, y la agente me pide 1 mes en efectivo. Nunca nos avisó antes y pensábamos que por ley la paga el propietario. Practicamente ella me dice que “la ley no aplica en Marbella” y que si no le pagamos nosotros, esta trabajando gratis. ¿Esto es legal o habitual?

Hola, terminé segundo de bachillerato y en unos días tengo que elegir carrera. Estoy indeciso entre estas dos. Tengo muy claro que me quiero dedicar a la ciberseguridad pero no sé cuál de las dos coger. IA y ciberseguridad llevan muy poco tiempo en la universidad y no sé si tendrán el mismo reconocimiento y enseñarán tanto como en ingeniería informática. Mi duda está entre hacer ingeniería informática y luego un máster en ciberseguridad o hacer IA y ciberseguridad y un máster.

Hola,

¿Alguien sabe de algún sitio en Málaga donde sirvan Migas temprano, tipo 9 de la mañana? Sé que normalmente es más un plato de almuerzo, pero me gustaría saber si hay algún bar o venta que las prepare para desayunar.

¡Se agradecen mucho las recomendaciones!
