👋Big news! We are evolving.
Now waitlisting Plus Ultra for friction free Spanish immigration spainexpat.com/plus-ultra
Grok actually knows what it’s talking about.
Both excellent. Valencia ranks higher overall on QoL (Numbeo 13th worldwide 2026, frequent InterNations #1 for expats) thanks to healthcare, flat bikeable layout, Turia park and transit. Malaga wins pure climate—more sun hours, milder winters—and tech/expat buzz.
Costs nearly identical now. Fun lifestyle: Valencia edges with Fallas energy, stronger food scene and bigger-city culture. Malaga feels freer for beach + mountain days and lively nights. Sun and outdoors tilt Malaga; balanced urban Mediterranean tilts Valencia.

You can still get proper nachos and a couple margaritas in central Madrid for under 20€
Should we feel bad it’s not Spanish food?

The Spanish language is designed to avoid responsibility.
Perhaps the structure of the language is why Latinos are kinda irresponsible. The language informs the people's mentality.
Some examples:
Today at breakfast the bread 🍞 ran out so guy said:
"Se vació" - it emptied itself
And then someone dropped their 📞 phone:
"Se me cayó" - it fell from me
You could say "i dropped it" like "yo deje caer mi celular" or something, but people dont talk that way.
Everything in the language absolves responsibility from the individual, as if things happen by chance.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Spanish accidental "se" constructions (e.g. "se me cayó", "se vació") are standard grammar for unintentional events, used by Spanish speakers and paralleled elsewhere. They do not indicate or cause irresponsibility; strong linguistic determinism is discredited.

Where my devops people? Let me buy you a beer…
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Why we see so few Spanish travel influencers.
I would add that the desire to travel is inversely correlated to how much you enjoy your normal everyday life.
It seems to be mostly middle-class worker bee types that make travel part of their identity. Everyday life sucks when you're a slave, so travel becomes the escape where w2s can pretend to be leisure class for a week.
