Temporary Protection (Ukrainians) in Málaga
Costa del Sol, Andalusia
Málaga has the fourth of Spain's CREADE centres, and the one that has leaned hardest into employment. Alongside issuing protection, the social security number and the health card, it runs integrated employment guidance including registration as a jobseeker — which for anyone intending to work rather than wait is the most useful thing any of the four centres offers.
Andalusia adds no regional immigration layer and has no co-official language, so the administrative path after the centre is short. What does need managing is housing: the Costa del Sol rental market is seasonal and competitive, and an address is what your empadronamiento, school place and doctor all depend on.

Questions about this service
Can I register as a jobseeker at the Málaga centre?
Yes. Málaga's centre offers integrated employment guidance that includes jobseeker registration, which is not standard across all four CREADE centres. If work is the priority, that makes it a practical place to start.
I am staying in Marbella or Fuengirola. Do I use the Málaga centre?
Yes — Málaga's centre covers the province, including the whole Costa del Sol. Your empadronamiento stays with the town hall where you actually live, but the protection application itself is provincial.
