Malaga Province bucks population fall trend

NEW figures on population fluctuations in Spain have placed Malaga Province as one of just four that gained inhabitants last year.

In fact while population figures dropped almost everywhere in the country, Malaga was the province that registered the highest increase, with a total of 1,627,584 inhabitants registered on January 1, 2015.

Although the increase was minimal, it has re-launched the upward trend of the past, which was broken in 2013 as expatriates began to leave the area.
