 Re: valencia or malaga
You may find a big problem in Valencia - the locals prefer to speak Catalan with a Valencian dialect (in the region you will find a different dialects between Western and Eastern Catalan just to add to the learning curve) which is totally confusing for those wanting to learn "proper" Spanish. Valencia folk are very into their region and many do not like speaking Spanish (Castellano) as a first language.
You may like to consider Alicante or further South to avoid a confused learning process and when you feel the urge to plunge into an English community pop along and meet the Ex-pats in Benidorm. Good luck |
