Housing – the honest gap

No job without a roof over your head.

In the region's hotel listings we did not find a single one offering accommodation. Meanwhile rents keep rising: around €16.50 per square metre in Málaga, over €23 in Marbella. A 40-square-metre flat in Málaga costs about €660 a month.

That is exactly why Job & Stay exists: only employers who sort out housing get listed – with a room, a flat or pay that lets you live locally.
