Cooperatives Testimonies

Born in Cordoba and living in Malaga. Due to my personal and work life I have lived in big cities, but living in Malaga is a joy, for its welcoming people, for its unbeatable climate and for the cosmopolitan atmosphere that is breathed in this land. In Puerto de la Luz Residential Complex I can enjoy the independence of my home and share social activities in common areas with people from different communities and countries. Happiness and stability must be sought and my husband and I have found it in this place.

One day I received a letter that told me that in Malaga there was a center called Residencial Puerto de la Luz, where to live independently with a group of friends, neighbors, family … each in his own apartment, furnished to taste of each. Here I arrived with my husband on January 2, 2015.
Our willingness to come here was a success.

“This is my 29th move after living in different parts of the world. I have 4 children and nine grandchildren spread across different countries and to show them my love, a year and a half ago I decided to move to the Residential Puerto de la Luz in Málaga, where I found EVERYTHING I wanted to have when I arrived at my third youth: Independence, comfort and several activities that I share with a group of NEW FRIENDS that nothing has to envy others in my whole life. This allows me to accumulate enough joy and love to share with my children when we talk or see each other. In summary: “If I’m happy, they are happy” feeling so privileged, I use each of my free time to thank Life!

Hello everyone. I’m Marina, I’m 58 years old and I’m a regular visitor to this dream place. I would need a huge space to be able to highlight all the good experience that the Residential brings me, but I will summarize to keep the most important.
More than a decade ago my parents forged the idea of settling in a space where they maintained their independence while they could combat the ailments that age was giving them. And they found him in this newly built Residential where they finally and with much effort settled. It turned out to be a success where my mother, her last years of life, could enjoy the comfort of her facilities and the existing human quality of her adventure companions that were arriving. Currently, my father survives the pain of losing his life partner with the help of all who share spaces in this wonderful place on the outskirts of Malaga, surrounded by nature but in turn well connected with the rest so that each one has the free choice to devote his time and without losing independence within the well-equipped apartments.
Today I accompany my father and I stay with him whenever I can since my life is currently in Madrid, but always looking to the future where without hesitation I see myself sitting on the terrace of this complex enjoying the most of the views, swimming pool , activities they offer me. I expect the best quality of life I can imagine when I can finally retire.
I encourage you to visit the place, surely you’ll fall in love.

I am a native of Denmark, a Hispanic, translator, interpreter, theologian and writer; I am 74 years old. In 2018 I was commissioned a book in Spanish on biblical themes, and I decided to come to Andalusia to write it. In Malaga I met the Puerto de la Luz Residential, and on December 1 I settled in an apartment. My stay in this place has been very pleasant. It has given me comfort and tranquility to do my job; I have solved a series of practical problems such as, for example, lunch, weekly cleaning and laundry; The place is surrounded by green areas, and the address of the Residential, staff and residents have treated me with love. Completed at the end of June 2019, my last book is titled Biblical Loves Under Censorship. Sexuality, gender and erroneous translations. In a short time I will conclude my stay at the Residencial, and I will be very happy with the experience here. VISIT US Kom og besøg os!

The Residential Puerto de la Luz in the Puerto de la Torre Málaga has the advantage that you can come and spend the time you want to test whether you like it or not. I came in August, and I spent a week. I really liked both the building and the people who live here, and I decided to come. I arranged my business in San Sebastian, and in November I went down here to the Mediterranean. I am a thousand kilometers from my origin. In two and a half months I have not opened an umbrella, I have not used a coat; I see the sun every day and the stars at night; there are flowers in the gardens; It’s eight in the morning and 15 degrees, a winter like there is spring. What a luxury!

The apartments are beautiful. Everyone looks at the sea, which seems silvery in the distance. In front, then, a beautiful horizon; to the left a mount of olive trees that goes down to our gardens; on the right mountains and mountains to the highest one that is aptly called “Sierra de las Nieves”. The sunrises and the sunsets are impressive. At night the whole plain to the sea is a wheat field of lights. They cross the cars drawing red and white lines with their lights because here close the motorways that go to Granada, Almeria, Algeciras, and Cádiz, … By the way, the airport is 15 minutes away, and practically the same bus station and the train with its fantastic AVE at 300km/per hour.

We live isolated and close to everything, although it seems contradictory. In the morning only the roosters and the braying of some donkey are heard; all day long the birds. Silence is monastic all day. On the other hand, 100 meters from the Residencial we have a bus every 12 minutes that takes us to the center of Malaga. Also, many of them have a car, and they are beneficial and go with their friends from here to there. Everything is nearby: Torremolinos at 16 km, Benalmádena at 22, Fuengirola at 30, Marbella at 60, Gibraltar at 134.

The residential services are splendid: the dining room, the assembly hall, the chapel, the infirmary, the hairdresser, the gym, the laundry, the cafeteria, the library, the swimming pool, etc…

There are a thousand activities and workshops: painting, patchwork, choir, chess, castanets, manual works, board games, gymnastics… Apart from that, everyone goes where they want and when they want: to concerts, to the cinema, to the restaurant, shopping, traveling… Freedom is total.

As I said at the beginning, the other reason why I came to live here, and perhaps the main one, is that the people of the Residential are charming, cultured and maintain a pleasant family atmosphere.

To talk about the “Puerto de la Luz Residential” I would be short on words of praise, but I will tell the story of my mother, and I hope you get an idea.

She was left widowed and alone at home four years ago, and despite the great sadness for the death of my father (the great love of her life) that none of her six children could replace, we realized that her great added problem was loneliness.

Despite her strength, since she never wanted to live with any child, we saw that things were not going well and that she had a great need to communicate, but especially with people like her. Then she proposed to us – always so brave – the idea of going to a residence, but we were horrified until she took us to Puerto de la Luz.

We were all amazed at the site and the facilities and especially the people who live there.

It is a beautiful building staggered on a hill, with which you see gardens and plants everywhere, with a entirely south orientation and full of windows, wide corridors and an absolute independence since you have your own apartment with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and lounge, giving these last two to a large terrace from where the sun can be seen behind the “Sierra de las Nieves”, and it is a spectacle.

There is always some activity to do or just take care of the garden and take a great walk, and when you want independence you go to your apartment, and nobody bothers you. The food is exquisite and the cleanliness perfect. But this is nothing if we compare it with the human level that its companions have, they are cultured and educated people with whom you’ll love to talk and who will make you never feel that dangerous loneliness in people already in the golden years.

I personally, I am completely hooked on the Residential and all the people who live there and whenever I can I go with them because I leave full of energy and happiness. My mother has completely changed her life, she is happy and rejuvenated and with a light in her eyes that lives up to the name “PUERTO DE LA LUZ RESIDENTIAL” nothing to do with a conventional residence.

If you want to buy life, health, joy, and happiness, pay attention to me, do not waste time and go to visit them to show you how incredible that is.

A kiss to all.
