Ground-floor apartments come into their own in Málaga's east-side residential belt — Limonar, Pedregalejo and El Palo — where the older low-rise blocks and garden communities often hand the street-level flat a private patio or strip of garden that no upper floor enjoys. They suit families with young children and buyers who are done carrying the shopping up four flights, and on the east side they keep you close to the sea and the centre without the noise of the historic core. We note light and damp honestly; a north-facing ground floor on a narrow Pedregalejo street is genuinely darker than the photographs suggest.
