Modeling work in Malaga
Malaga is the largest city on the Costa del Sol, in Andalusia. Our catalogue lists two agencies here. The Manuel Beltrán model agency is on Calle Beatas in the city centre and shows its models board on its website. The same group runs paid schools for models, make-up artists and designers.
MIUS Models has its office on Calle Hilera. The agency has women's, men's and new faces boards, and the services it lists are model representation, event organisation and paid courses for models. We found no training prices on either agency's website, so ask in advance. The application forms are on the agencies' websites.
The nearest markets and how to get there

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For advertising and shoots in the region, the local agencies fit; for fashion work, pick a few agencies in Madrid or Barcelona and only travel once you have been invited to meet.
- Apply through each agency's official channels. Spanish law does not stop agencies charging applicants, so before paying for photos, courses or registration, check on the agency's profile whether it charges and how much, and compare it with others. Walk away if you are pressed to pay or sign on the spot; more warning signs are in the glossary entry modeling scams.
- Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Spain.
