Where to look in Málaga

Use these established student areas as starting points, then compare each property's rent and route to your university.

Where students live in Málaga

Areas students actually take rooms in, with the buildings closest to each one. Matched by location, so a building appears under the area it stands in rather than the area its marketing claims.

Teatinos

The campus district four kilometres inland, almost entirely students, with modern blocks, low rents and the metro into town. Dull and cheap and five minutes from a lecture.

Centro Historico

The old town round the cathedral and the Roman theatre, pedestrianised and beautiful, with small flats and the highest prices in the city.

Carretera de Cadiz

West towards the airport, dense, local and inexpensive, with the Cercanias running through it.

Useful to know nearby

Places students in Málaga actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.

  • Biblioteca Pública Provincial

    Public reading and study space near the historic centre.

  • Metro line 1

    The key connection from central Málaga towards the Teatinos university district.

  • Mercado de Atarazanas

    Central covered food market close to bus and rail connections.

  • Parque de Málaga

    A shaded central park between the old town and waterfront.

A few Málaga buildings worth a look

What to know before choosing a room in Málaga

A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.

Malaga's reputation is the beach and its university is nowhere near it. The Universidad de Malaga's main campus is at Teatinos, four kilometres inland to the west, purpose-built and surrounded by student flats, while the Mediterranean, the old town and the Picasso museum are all at the other end of the metro. That is the trade here: a room near teaching is cheap and dull, a room near the water costs more and involves a commute, and the city has grown enough in the last decade that both are in demand.

    Getting around Málaga

    Two metro lines run from the centre out to Teatinos and the university, which is the journey most students make daily and takes about fifteen minutes. EMT buses cover the seafront and the eastern districts the metro does not reach, and both take a student rate. Malaga is flat along the coast and the seafront promenade and cycle path run for miles in both directions, so a bike covers the eastern suburbs easily. Maria Zambrano station reaches Madrid in under three hours on the high-speed line, Seville in under two, and the airport is twelve minutes by Cercanias, which is unusually convenient for an international student.
