Two steps to the east, one to the west

These last two years I've gotten very used to being publicly transported. Living in a northern neighborhood of Málaga and getting down the coast to Fuengirola and later up the mountain to Benalmádena pueblo, my mornings and afternoons were one bus ride after another.

This year, the gods smiled on me and gave me a school right in the heart of the city. A short ride on the city bus and there I am.

Obviously this would be too easy, so I'm moving. To Benalmádena.

No it's not that I miss the commuter trains or that I have a deep love for Chinese takeaway and permanent Northern European expats, but I do get to live with José in a nice apartment close to the beach.

I'll miss my old apartment in Teatinos, but am excited to move in with José and to take this next step in our relationship.

And of course to be a frequent rider of the M110 bus again.

So you're apartment hunting in Malaga...

Mazel Tov. You are one of the lucky people who will be auxiliaring in Malaga this year.

Out of a pure desire for blog traffic to help others I made a map of the neighborhoods of Malaga where auxiliares might want to apartment hunt. I hope this map increases the number of people who follow my blog helps future auxiliars in their search for a place to stay. You're welcome from the bottom of my cold, black heart.

Note: I am not an expert at Malaga. This map is based on my own brilliant humble take on where are some good places to live. I welcome any suggestions in the comment section and will gladly call you an idiot who doesn't know anything take them into account.
