10 Worst Things About Living on the Costa del Sol (Nobody Tells You This)

Everyone shows you the glossy side of Marbella… sunshine, supercars and beach clubs. 🌴✨

In this episode, we flip the script and share the top 10 frustrations of living on the Costa del Sol – the stuff you don’t see on Instagram.

We absolutely love living here, but nowhere is perfect. So we’re talking honestly about things like:

1️⃣ Seasonal overcrowding in July & August
2️⃣ High costs in prime areas like Marbella, Puerto Banús & the Golden Mile
3️⃣ Spanish bureaucracy & endless red tape
4️⃣ Seasonal jobs and income ups & downs
5️⃣ Limited public transport & no train line to Marbella
6️⃣ Language barriers in paperwork & healthcare
7️⃣ Property & rental scams (and how to avoid them)
8️⃣ Droughts, water restrictions & fire risks
9️⃣ Noise, party rentals & overdevelopment in some pockets
🔟 Cultural adjustment – maňana culture, builders, timing and expectations

If you’re thinking of moving to Marbella or the Costa del Sol, this is the honest, balanced chat you need before you pack your bags.
