Our Story: How Welcome Málaga Was Born

At Welcome Málaga, we believe that moving should not be a source of stress, but a door to new opportunities. But how does a company dedicated to making the experience of starting fresh in a new city more human and simple come to life?

A Beginning Rooted in Málaga

Welcome Málaga was founded by four people with a shared purpose: to make relocating to Málaga a smooth, personal, and human experience.

It all started with Luis, Alfonso, and Marta—three lawyers from Málaga specializing, among other things, in immigration law—who, over the years, helped hundreds of people obtain their Spanish residence permits. Over time, Alfonso realized something important: getting a visa or residence permit was just the first step. What came after mattered just as much.

Beyond Legal Paperwork

Those who arrive in Málaga need more than just documents. They need a home, a school, medical guidance, help opening a bank account, registering with the town hall, finding a trustworthy mechanic or pediatrician. And since they knew every corner of the city and had an unmatched network of contacts, they naturally started offering this kind of help—just because they knew who to call and how to solve it.

A Team with Soul

Marta embodies this spirit like no other: a true “social shark” with an overwhelming charm and the ability to connect even with the most complicated landlords. Her positive energy and warmth make the most complex procedures feel simple.

Then there's Luis, the team’s problem solver. With his exceptional ability to analyze each situation, he always finds the fastest, most efficient, and most creative way out. If there’s a way to do it, he’ll find it—and if not, he’ll invent one.

A Shared Vision

That’s how the idea of Welcome Málaga was born: a company that could offer all this support in a structured and professional way, without losing the personal, human touch that had always defined them.

The Missing Piece

That’s when Rita joined—Málaga-born on her mother’s side, a corporate professional with a life closely tied to international mobility. She had lived in several cities and countries and knew firsthand what it means to start from scratch in a new place: the excitement, but also the uncertainty, paperwork, and endless questions. Her personal journey, combined with her sensitivity to change, empathy, and practical mindset, added great value to the project.

And That’s How Welcome Málaga Was Born

From the blend of legal expertise, local knowledge, strong connections, and a deep understanding of the adaptation process, Welcome Málaga was born—today the number one relocation service in the city.

We support families, professionals, and companies with a comprehensive and personalized approach, because we know that relocating is not just about changing countries: it’s about starting a new life. And doing it right from the start makes all the difference.
