Seville is a really nice, fully realized city. Lots to do, you feel like you are living in a nice town vs. vacationing some place. They have great markets, culture, and beautiful sites.

If you like the “vacation feel”, the entire strip from Malaga to Benalmadena fits the bill. I particularly like Torremolinos, there is a train station right in the center of Torremolinos that takes you directly, and quickly to Malaga city or the airport. Torremolinos itself is easily walkable and is inhabited by a mix of international retirees and LGBTQ+ of all ages. There are many shops, bars and even large hypermarkets like Carrefour.
