Fuengirola Location

West of Malaga lies the well-developed resort of Fuengirola. Home to the Costa del Sol's longest stretch of beach, this lively town also plays host to the best open-air market on the coast. Fuengirola attracts a wide range of people and is particularly popular with couples and families. At the centre of the resort is the picturesque old town - a cluster of winding streets and elegant squares peppered with stylish shops and tapas bars. A walk down the long, palm-lined waterfront promenade leads to numerous cafes and a picturesque harbour flanked by bars, discos and restaurants.

Fuengirola Description & Information

Away from the high rise promenade, Fuengirola's old town still retains a traditional feel and flavour. Running off the main square, the Plaza de la Constitucion, is a warren-like network of quaint, narrow streets that boasts a host of tapas bars and stylish cafes. The old fisherman's district of Santa Fe bustles with Spanish charm and is overlooked by the hillside Moorish castle of Sohail, from which spectacular vistas of the coastline may be enjoyed. For the family, a mini train runs through the resort for a short, fun tour of Fuengirola town.
