Why Fuengirola?
Miles of golden sand, calm Mediterranean sea and a palm tree-lined promenade make a holiday to Fuengirola the ultimate sun-splashed getaway. This Costa del Sol hotspot is half an hour from Malaga and combines beaut beaches with a vibrant town centre and a healthy helping of Moorish history.
Playa del Fuengirola is the town’s main beach, where soft sand and clean water set the scene for a long, lazy day in the sun. The wide promenade is perfect for an evening stroll or cycle ride, and there’s no shortage of bars and seafood restaurants to try here too.
Head to the town centre for a flavour of Spanish street life and a spot of sightseeing, then mosey east into Los Boliches, a quieter residential area with shops, outdoor eateries, bars – and yes, another fab beach.
Sohail Castle overlooks the beaches in the south-west of the city. Now used as a venue for concerts and festivals, the 1,000-year-old ruins offer a trip back in time to Spain’s Moorish past. From here you can enjoy swoon-inspiring views of the Mediterranean as well as the Sierra de Mijas mountains.
For a taste of tropical rainforest in the heart of town, head to Bioparc Fuengirola, a pioneering zoo that aims to recreate animals’ natural environment. You’ll find crocodiles, monkeys, and tigers rubbing shoulders here, making it the perfect family activity.
Sound tempting? Dig out your passport and get ready to lap up the best of Spain’s sunshine coast on a holiday to Fuengirola.
