You ain't been in the outskirts at all bruh, in the outskirts u got the no-go zones of Málaga, La Palmilla, La Corta, and the Los Asperones shantytown. Those places have daily shootings and police is scared to enter. So you definetly didn't go to the outskirts at night.

The perception of feeling at risk may be high, but the actuality is very low. We said for five nights and walked in the center and outskirts every night. We had and saw no problems at all.

There is a difference between Malaga Province and Capital because Province has its borders to Gibraltar and by the way Cannabis is not really considered a drug in Malaga Capital the consumption and is partly legalized in so called clubs. Just like with alcohol its a drug but its culturally accepted here.

It's Impossible that using or dealing drugs is Low when Malaga is pretty much the narco capital of Spain along with Valencia or maybe Barcelona
