We know that the culture, the streets, and (most of all) the people are all unfamiliar and, sometimes, it can make you feel a little bit isolated or lonely.
Fortunately, Málaga is also one of the friendliest cities and has infinite opportunities to meet new people! Here are a few of the best options:
1. The Student Way
One ot the best experiences for meeting people and making friends is through enroling to a course. At our Spanish classes, students discover a community of international people who, though from all parts of the world, shared the same enthusiasm and interest in Spain and Spanish language and culture.
International students also understand what it’s like to move here without knowing anyone and those who had been here a while usually have some great advice and insights for the new ones. In this way, you feel like you have a friend group and an active schedule from day one.
2. The At-Home Way
Sharing an apartment with other people can seem great or daunting, depending on who you are, but it will always improve your social life. This is especially true if you live with Spaniards, who are sure to introduce you to all their friends and adopt you as one of their own.
If you choose to live with other foreigners, this can also be a great introduction to the guiri community. Long live the Flat Mate Solution! A win-win situation.

Another way for meeting people is a classic, no matter where you live: join the gym! While not guaranteed to make you friends, this will put you in an energetic environment with lots of other people from your neighborhood.
