One of the reasons that I love the Costa del Sol is that it has everything I personally need. Sand, sea, sun …..and soccer! As a lifelong football fan, having La Liga football on my doorstep is just another reason for living here.

Málaga CF play in the top flight of Spanish football which is variously described as La Liga, La Primera, La Liga BBVA …..and the best league in the world! This means that locals and visitors can see the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia in La Rosaleda the club´s excellent stadium in the outskirts of the city.

The Brits brought football to Spain and this involvement continues to this day with a very large and active
Peña Internacional Malaguista, the International Supporters Club. They have an excellent web-site complete with forum, arrange travel to home and away matches and generally support the club at every level. I know you will be made most welcome on the forum, at the ground or in either of their two “locals” in Marbella Old Town and Arroyo de la Miel.

Enjoy!
