For those who want to belong to Málaga, not just live here

Love from Málaga is a living collection of stories, moments, and cultural artifacts that help people feel at home in the city they chose.

Through our newsletter, social media, and creative projects, we share the kind of stories you don’t always find in traditional guides or news: local legends, new projects in town, history deep-dives, neighborhood encounters, mindful observations, and the “oh wow, I didn’t know that” details that slowly turn a place into home.

Our stories are

Thoughtful, not rushed — depth over clicks

Community-minded — connection over controversy

Conscious & uplifting — grounded, present, inspiring

Love from Málaga is for anyone who wants to feel more connected to this city — whether that means discovering a new favorite place, learning the story behind a familiar street, or understanding what makes Málaga, Málaga.

Love from Málaga was founded by Valentina Quarta out of a deep love for this city and a desire to cultivate a culture of belonging for those who choose to stay.

After years of living across Europe, Málaga became the place where staying finally made sense. That experience sparked a simple curiosity: What makes a place feel like home?

Again and again, the answer was stories — shared in neighborhoods, inside small businesses, through the city’s past, and in the daily moments that quietly shape its future. Because it is in the way each of us participates that culture is created, every day.

Love from Málaga exists to slow things down, deepen connection, and help you fall a little more in love with where you live — or at least text a friend and say, “Wait… did you know this?”
