- A new kind of video for me today :) I strapped my new GoPro Hero10 on my new bicycle and cruised through the city to the beach in Malaga, Spain (Playa Malagueta, Playa Caleta, and Playa Los Baños del Carmen). I narrated the trip to give you info about the city, the bike lanes, and the beaches, and I even include some little updates on what's been going on in my life. Come along with me! This is a long one so if you watch all the way to the end, thank you so much! Leave a comment and let me know if you've enjoyed this style of video.

Loved this biking tour because you narrate, it's not boring, it's entertaining. Thanks for sharing your adventures in Spain.
Thanks!! 🙏🏻
Dear Melissa: wonderful video! I went with my wife to La Bicicleta, talked to the two lovely Italians and ordered two bikes. One like yours. We will be here till May 27 2023. Hope to see you on the trails in Malaga. All the best.
Aww that’s amazing! Enjoy your rides 🥳
Melissa, you have done a great job with this video, first rate. I visited Malaga in March 2018 and like to periodically remind myself of the city.
Many thanks, Derek
Thank you so much!
I love this! I want to see as much of the bicycle infrastructure in Malaga as you can show! Thank you.
I’m hoping to make some more videos in 2023!
@@melissamorse8454 I miss your videos! Your style and presentation is so calming, and it makes me miss Malaga. Planning on moving there within a year.
Such a lovely and relaxing video. I was fortunate enough to live in Malaga for one year and this brought back so many beautiful memories. Thank you so much😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just having an opportunity to watch this video now but LOVING every minute! Great job, Melissa! What an awesome viewpoint of this beautiful city. And your narration is so captivating. I am watching it during my lunch break but will finish the rest, later!!
Awww glad you loved it Kylie! Thanks for inspiring me to make it! ❤️
I definitely would love to see more like this! Also, I had to laugh watching you have to weave around all the pedestrians standing in the bike lanes. Some transportation issues know no borders I guess! 🙄🤣
Thanks for this lovely entertaining, relaxing and informative video Melissa. I'm moving to Malaga this summer and love seeing different parts of the city on video and it's great to know there are such good bicycle lanes throughout the city.Keep up the great work and yes, would love more videos like this one.
Enjoy your future rides! Thanks for watching 😊
Great video! We moved to Malaga 3 months ago, in Teatinos. We are enjoying your video, because we love to ride our bikes, but so far just in Teatinos, and from Teatinos to the beach. You showed the interesting bike route in your video. Thanks 😊
Teatinos is nice! I’d like to explore that area more one of these days and now I can do it on my bike! Thanks for watching!
I love how you show so much of how the area looks and how descriptive you are. Thank you! Subscribed and am looking forward to watching more of your videos 😎
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed your videos ❤️👏👏. We are currently visiting Malaga from Southern California. Just wanted to send you thanks and greetings. 🙏👏❤️
Thank you so much for this video and really helpful commentary. We used it this morning to cycle out to the beach.
Awww I hope you had a nice ride! It was a beautiful day.
I watched the whole video, I absolutely love your videos❤❤❤pls make more
Thanks for watching. I’ll hopefully find some time to make some more soon.
Hi Melissa...
I'm loving your style and videos! Looking to possibly move to Malaga near the end of the year. Thanks for the informative videos...MMMMalaga
Thanks for the tour Melissa! It gives us a good idea of the city riding. We are probably coming to Malaga in May to do some biking (up into the mountains ect..). We are from Quebec City ;-) Take care!
Sounds great! Enjoy! You’ll love it 😍
We live in Kitchener (Canada) and I have cycled the Spanish interior just north of there in the Alicante/Valencia region. You'll love the interior cycling, drivers are respectful and there are many secondary road routes with little traffic. Try an over night trip with a couple bags of essentials, the won to town distances are not long and each town has something unique to offer. Cheers.
Great video. Very useful. Thank You
I live in Sweden and I'm going to move to Malaga one day that's why I follow you, please keep going...
Good luck with planning your move!
Nice video glad you are back! we are coming to Malaga for the month of October staying in the centre beside the cathedral . You should make video going towards Torremolilos .
Nice!! I’ll do another biking video soon.
It is really beautiful there! I love Spain and hopefully soon I will be able to live there. It was enough for me a few winters in Canada 😁 Now I want summer all the time :)
Yes, it’s certainly nice not to deal with Canadian winters. But…be warned…it gets colder here than you’d think in the winter. Housing is not built for cold and many places aren’t heated. I actually felt colder here than I do in a Canadian winter. But it’s still much better than shoveling and driving in snow! And waaay more sun!
Can you please tell me if is it hard to find jobs there? Some people say that Malaga is more for leisure time not for job opportunities. I work now as chocolatier (I run my own business, but unfortunately Romania is not the best place for organic and vegan chocolate) and my wife works as account payable clerk right now for an English company. Thank you:)
@@melissamorse8454 Yes, in Canada it was really nice inside of the houses in the winter time, excepting an apartment from NB:) But to drive in Alberta was very scary for me in the winter time, it was my first time when I was stuck in snow with my car:)
Malaga has a fast growing tech sector so English speakers with relevant tech or business skills may find opportunities here. Outside of that I’ve heard it’s pretty difficult. Unemployment is high and so many people are moving here trying to find work. Most jobs in Malaga city would require Spanish, except for some of the earlier mentioned international tech firms. I haven’t job searched here so I don’t know personally. Opening a chocolate business here could be an option but of course you’d need to do some market research. There is a chocolate business in Mijas Pueblo (about 45 mins away) called Mayan Monkey that does pretty well targeting tourists. Malaga doesn’t have anything similar that I’m aware of.
@@melissamorse8454 We have started to learn Spanish but it will take a while until we will be able to speak on a satisfactory level for jobs:) Unfortunately we don't have a background in IT but I bought a little course about Android App development. Hopefully it will help me. Do you still have your jobs from Canada?:)
Great video!😃
¡Gracias!
Last week I saw on the Train to Los Álamos, but I was shy to say hello, it was on a Monday about 9:00 or 9:30. I hope that you are still enjoying Málaga 👍🏼
Aww, if you see me again say hello! I love meeting viewers. Still adore Malaga!
Miss your high quality "postcards" from Malaga. Hope you are doing well 🙂
What a nice relaxing watch without having to do any of the hard work myself! Been thinking about getting this Go Pro - looks great. And yeah, they need to do something about the Alameda nightmare - buses, pedestrians, bike lanes, estanco queues..it is impossible to not be in someones way there.
Do we need to start a petition? 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is ASMR! Love it! I did love this video!
I was editing it wondering if it was kinda like ASMR. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, Melissa! I loved this video. My wife and I plan to move to Málaga at some point (one of us more reluctantly than the other, AND we plan to make videos about it!), and I love watching videos about the city. I've spent a good amount of time in the city over the years, but I've never biked there, as my friends who live there aren't big bikers, so it was great to see what's available as far as bike paths.
What's bike-storage safety like? Would you feel comfortable leaving your bike locked up out of sight for an extended period or no? Haha, and as I was writing this, I got to the portion of the video where you talked about taking your seat with you. Keep us updated on any bike drama! Cheers!
Thanks for watching! I haven’t really tested the bike crime risk as I haven’t left my bike unattended much at all. I’ve been warned to be careful so I’m paranoid. Lol
I need to take a chance though because it would be convenient for shopping. I think if you have a good lock and leave it in an area with foot traffic it would be fine. The biggest problem is to find somewhere to lock it up. Not many bike racks.
Thank you very much for the lovely, informative tour 😊 I was in Malaga last week, for only 3 full days, so I didn't get as far as you did on your bike 😎 Also, I didn't figure out the bicycle/pedestrian system at all, so I may have been a pain in the butt without knowing. But I do now, thanks to you 😊 Obviously, there are so many things and places to explore there, so I would really appreciate if you could make more of these tours. Kindest regards from Erik, Denmark
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed! I’ll do more tours for sure!
Oh, fun fact about infomedusa - I tried getting it on my phone because when I was there in August, we used it DAILY before heading to the beach. We'll be there in June 2023 for my sister's wedding and also a family trip, so we wanted to prep by having the app or at least mentioning it to wedding guests, but it wasn't available to us. I don't know if this is because we tried adding it from the States or if it's because we don't have Spanish phone plans. I guess when we try in June, we can let you know!
I’m pretty sure Infomedusa was available in the Canadian Apple App Store, but I can’t remember for sure. I might have switched to the Spain App Store. It shouldn’t matter what your provider is, more so which country’s App Store you’re using.
I watched the whole video 😊 and really enjoyed it. Not only to see the area, and to feel even more excited about the idea of moving here. But to get a better idea of distance. What ti me on a map looks pretty far, I could now see is actually really close. Side note, I live in California and am totally guilty of having walked the bike paths on the beach and will now make a note to stop doing that 😁
Haha, yes, I didn’t know about the bike paths before either. I aim to learn and educate 😂 The city definitely looks bigger than it is!
I love your videos ! Very informative and entertaining! I am actually planning on visiting Malaga and Seville this summer for the first time. Do you have any recomandations for a first time canadian traveller going to these areas?
Hi Amy, thanks for watching! I actually have a video called A Virtual Tour of Malaga and it covers some of the top things to see. It’s tough to recommend specific things since everyone has different interests, but hopefully that video gives you some ideas. Enjoy your trip! You’re going to have a blast!
We love you
Love you too Charlie and family!
very helpful video! we are travelling to Malaga in a couple of weeks and will defo hire bikes to go on a ride. Are there many places to lock your bikes outside shops/restaurants?
Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of bike racks around but if you have a big enough lock you can usually find something to lock it to. I have noticed them installing more of them around recently, so that’s positive! Have fun on your visit.
Cool !!! Mire videos like this 👍☝👏🌊🌊🌊
I’ll def make more soon!
I watched it all! but in sections, stopping a few times along the way. Makes me long to be there. Malaga es tan bella 💜 And you've given me another idea: buy a bike! We thought about scooters but I think you need a driver's license for those right? and I'm not sure we're going to pursue getting driver's licenses. A ver.....Thanks for the scenic ride!!
Yes, motor scooters (Vespa, mopeds, etc) require an A level license according to the CC’s. I think there are courses just for that. To drive a car is a B level license. I’m thinking about going for my car license in the Fall. Would be nice to be able to drive once in a while to explore. Such a bummer to do driving school all over again. Glad you enjoyed!
@@melissamorse8454 thanks for the info! Can you tell me what CC is as I'm not sure? Here is something I jotted down whilst doing research if it helps you: "ask your driving school about getting credit for your previous experience in the states. You need to get a certified copy of your driving record, of course with a wet signature and apostle. Otherwise you’re considered a learner and need to have a big red L in your window. Most rental companies won’t rent to learners." I found this in a FB group for expats.
CC is the power a motorcycle has. It typically relates to engine size. Thanks for the tip on the drivers record. I had forgotten about that, but I’ll look into getting one when I’m back in Canada this summer.
@@melissamorse8454 ah, got it. thanks!
awesome! where do you go shopping for clothes there?
Clothes shopping is slightly tricky for my size (usually EU 46), but I tend to have luck at Dunnes, Primark, sometimes Zara, H&M, C&A, El Corte Inglés, Encuentro.
