Based on Malaga's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
Marbella is probably the best place on the European mainland, warm and mild weather, big international community,(German, English, Scandinavian) fast and stable Internet, very relaxed about drugs and prostitution. It is the safest for female travellers, the police detains every man that verbally or fiscally abuses a woman. Prices go from 20€ a night to over 200€, that is why there are real successful digital nomads here, no "Tramps" with laptops. If you avoid the city centre and Puerto Banus

You can rent a room as cheap as 200€ (erasmus rooms), 1beer costs usually under 2€ and has a free 'Tapa' - normally when I go out, with 5€ I've eaten and drank enough. Coworkings cost somewhere from 70-120€ depending if part time or full time. Then you can go almost anywhere around walking, and by bus to the mountains. Compared to Berlin, the Internet is much faster and cheaper. Simyo has 20€ prepaid cards that give you 60GB data x month.
