L’Espagne est l’un des pays les plus sûrs d’Europe. Les provinces touristiques paraissent plus élevées sur le papier : les infractions impliquant des millions de visiteurs ne sont divisées que par la population recensée. Il s’agit surtout de petits vols en haute saison ; les crimes violents sont rares.

Málaga–Costa del Sol airport is southern Spain’s main hub, with direct flights from most European countries all year round. A commuter train runs along the coast from Málaga to Fuengirola, and the AVE high-speed line links Málaga with Madrid. For owners and tenants alike, every town in the province is reachable without complicated transfers.
Less so than anywhere else on the mainland coast: the summer peak is followed by autumn and winter demand from golfers and wintering Northern Europeans. The genuine lull lasts only a couple of deep-winter months, and not in every town — Málaga city and Fuengirola let practically year-round.
