Inland Malaga, Spain Danni Menzies

Sal and Mike, who both work at Manchester Airport, first met two years ago. Their dream is to find the perfect property that they can retire to permanently in the beautiful countryside of inland Malaga in Southern Spain. They’ve called on the house hunting talents of Danni Menzies to find them the best option that their £130,000 budget can buy. Danni has five terrific options lined up, but will any of them leave the couple flying high?

Inland Malaga

About the area

A 3 hour flight from the UK takes you to Malaga on the southern coast of Spain. While many tourists head here to the town itself or to the surrounding Costa Del Sol for a holiday on the beach, inland offers a very different type of break away. With stunning landscapes dotted with traditional Spanish whitewashed villages, agricultural plains, olive trees and mountain ranges to explore, it’s a paradise for those looking for the peace and quiet of the countryside or an active holiday in the hills.
