La Palmilla, a Malaga neighbourhood once notorious for crime and drugs, has transformed thanks to figures like Jesús "Chule" Rodríguez. After serving time in prison, Chule experienced a profound spiritual transformation, leading him to leave his criminal past behind. For over 20 years, he has run "The House of the Good Life," a halfway house offering shelter and support to the homeless and those battling addiction. Chule's journey from crime to community service symbolizes hope and renewal in Malaga.
