Finding the right place/area to live in Malaga

Hi, my name is Lynne, I'm English by birth (many years ago) and I have lived near Mojacar in the Almeria province for 18 years. My husband recently died and I feel the need to move to a smaller place as my current villa is too large for me to fully appreciate it now, mainly because of health reasons. I'm hoping that by joining a forum in the Malaga area it might encourage me to live there once my head is in the right place!
