Malaga Residents Found to be Among Most Satisfied in EU

A new study ranking EU cities in terms of wellness and satisfaction of their residents has found that Malaga residents are the fourth-most satisfied people in all of Europe.

Costa Del Sol Residents are some of the most

satisfied residents in the EU

The EU study looked at 40,000 EU residents across 79 cities and asked them their general opinions on everything from healthcare, the environment, to safety and leisure facilities. Each city was given a score out of 100, with Malaga getting an overall score of 96. This put the city in fourth place behind Aalborg in Denmark, which got 99, Hamburg in Germany with 98, and Copenhagen, Groningen, Oslo and Zurich, all of which tied with 97.

Malaga was still the top ranked city in Spain. It came out ahead of Oviedo, which scored 94, and the 90 ranking of Barcelona. Four Spanish cities were polled in all and fourth place went to Madrid, which scored 86.

Despite the high score there were some aspects of Malaga that scored poorly. Healthcare in particular scored badly, with one sector awarding a score of just 63 out of 100. Malaga also ranked poorly in Education. A whopping 94% of Malaga citizens said that finding a job was difficult.

Even though Malaga citizens were concerned about how clean the city was, they were still quite happy with the safety, leisure facilities, transport, and cost of living of the city.

The least-satisfied citizens in the EU can be found in Naples, Palermo, and Istanbul. These three are part of a small handful of cities that ranked below 80 points.

The Council of Manilva recently reassured foreign nationals and residents living in Costa del sol, and asked them not to panic. The Mayor of Manilva, Diego Jose Jiminez along with the councilor Dean Tyler Shelton recently made this public statement after Brexit, as the citizens were tensed and had no clarity about the legality.

No reason to be worried as Spain needs Brits more than ever

As per their statement, they said that they want to send across a clear message to the citizens of Britain and home owners who are presently residing in Manilva that they are most welcome to continue staying in Manilva and there is nothing to worry about. Manilva is only a small town located on the western edge of Costa del Sol region, which is in the South of Spain and they said that they have a deep gratitude for the economic, cultural and social contribution of Brits to the region. They also said that there will not be any difference in their opinion or stand due to Brexit referendum and everything will remain the same.

As of now, there are nearly three thousand Brits registered and residing in Manilva and Sabinillas permanently and they have invested millions in different ways, thereby benefiting the businesses and towns of the region as they pay taxes and work for the betterment of local residents as well.

They reassured that it is now their responsibility to make sure that the process is painless for them and the changes do not affect the foreign expats in any possible way. We will also help you to heal the divisions that have arisen among families and neighbors due to the campaign, they said during the statement.

They also finished their statement by quoting the popular quote. “It is time to focus on what unites us, rather than that which divides us’.
