Malaga, a Thriving Tourist City on the Rise
The capital of the province, Málaga, has experienced rapid growth and development in recent years to become the third most visited city in Spain. This surge in popularity is positively impacting investment in the city, driving the development and refurbishment of property to meet increasing demand, including property for sale in Málaga and villas for sale in Málaga.
Cultural tourism takes center stage, with world-class art galleries such as Museo Picasso Málaga, Thyssen Museum, and Centro Pompidou, along with international music and theatre events, including Antonio Banderas’s new Teatro Soho theatre, where the Málaga-born actor frequently appears on stage.
The vibrant social scene in Málaga revolves around Andalusian tapas culture, with locals and visitors hopping from bar to bar. Classic venues like El Pimpi, La Revuelta, and Taberna El Siglo, which offers stunning views of the Cathedral, are a must-visit.
Trendy boutique hotels with rooftop bars, such as RoomMate Valeria, provide a unique perspective on this enchanting city. Meanwhile, the bars and cafés of Calle Larios, Plaza de la Constitución, and Plaza Merced offer a warm welcome day and night, adding to the city’s irresistible charm.

Muelle Uno & City Centre
The creation of Muelle Uno, the attractive leisure area of the port – a popular area for a Sunday stroll has improved the value of property in the area.
With all this and more, this friendly provincial capital is attracting 1.3 million visitors a year. The city’s popularity as a tourist destination is driving up demand for quality residential and investment properties – and attracting buyers both locally and internationally.
The elegant streets of the historical centre have mostly been pedestrianized, and stunning old buildings have been tastefully refurbished while respecting the facades, and in both the centre. Many of Málaga’s most beloved historical buildings have been lovingly converted into sleek new “loft” style apartments which offer the highest standards of modern Mediterranean city living.
Modern towers of striking apartments and penthouses are appearing in the city and on the beachfront, while in the surrounding suburbs beautiful new builds are offering unprecedented levels of luxury in the Málaga property market.
World Expo 2027 a firm candidate
The city of Málaga is fast positioning itself as a “technopolis”, and centre for remote working, attracting global giants to invest in Málaga – with e.g. Google’s new cyber security centre located in the heart of the city.
Should Málaga be selected as Spain’s candidate for the World Expo 2027, it would impact the local economy by an estimated 2,9 billion and place Málaga firmly on the world stage. Add to this Malaga’s strong cultural identity, evident in the annual Semana Santa processions at Easter and the flamboyant feria in August, and the uniqueness of this city is magnetic.
All of this translates into excellent returns on investment for opting to buy property in Málaga, with excellent tourist rental potential.
