As mentioned by some of you there are retired britts living there, not exciting for us I agree but on the other hand that means these people will look for an accomodation, Many of them will want to rent few months before buying.
That could be the opportunity to spend few weeks at the beach and have a steady source of income the rest of the time.
As I said I only know Malaga in Andalucia, the city is boring compared to Barcelona or Madrid but in my opinion people are nicer than in cities like Valencia, Barcelona or Madrid.
I think Malaga is a good choice, the city is livable, affordable, someone does not feel the stress of living in a big city, there is beach and a good salsa scene full of hot women, that strip of beaches along the coast to Marbella are the cherry on the top of the cake plus is the city in continental Europe with the most sunshine exposure.
Marbella and Puerto Banus are the big tourist destinations in that part of the Coast. I spent a night in Malaga once when I arrived on a late flight and then went on to Marbella the next morning. It's OK to go out but I think it would get old pretty quickly and it seems to be mostly a Spanish scene. If I were looking for a rental property I would definitely consider Marbella and Puerto Banus (the St Tropez of Spain) as well. I think it's very seasonal there, so if you want to maximize your rental capability go for Puerto Banus. Lots of upscale Brits and others go there year round for golf, yachting and nightlife.
Both times I was there was in August and people told me that late June/July are the high season. Lots of groups of high end British girls, some random Scandinavians and Russians, spanish on vacation and a little bit of everything else.
