What should I pack when moving to Malaga?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Malaga to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Malaga, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for warm, Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the summer months and warmer layers for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and beachwear for enjoying the beautiful beaches. You should also pack any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite non-perishable food items that may be hard to find in Spain. Bring all necessary personal documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook if you're not fluent in Spanish, as well as any other language learning materials you might find helpful. Don't forget your electronics, including your phone, laptop, and chargers. You may also need a power adapter if your devices don't use European plugs. Lastly, pack personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, and favorite books," remarked another expat in Malaga, Spain.
