How do I meet people in Malaga?

When we asked people living in Malaga about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:

"Expats in Malaga often join various clubs and activities to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local culture. These include language exchange groups, where they can practice their Spanish and help locals with their English. They also participate in sports clubs, such as football, tennis, or golf, which are popular in the region. There are also several expat groups and associations that organize social events, cultural outings, and networking opportunities. These groups often cater to specific nationalities, but many are open to all foreigners living in Malaga. Cooking classes are another popular activity, where expats can learn to prepare traditional Spanish dishes and meet fellow food enthusiasts. Similarly, wine tasting events offer a chance to sample the region's famous wines and socialize with other expats and locals. In addition to joining clubs and activities, expats often meet people through their work or their children's schools. Many international companies have offices in Malaga, and the city's international schools have active parent-teacher associations that organize social events. Volunteering is another great way to meet people and give back to the community. There are numerous charities and non-profit organizations in Malaga that welcome the help of foreign volunteers. Finally, simply exploring the city and its many cafes, bars, and restaurants can lead to chance encounters and new friendships. The people of Malaga are known for their friendliness and hospitality, and many expats find that striking up a conversation with a local can be the start of a lasting friendship," said one person in Malaga.
