The thriving resort of Fuengirola is both a functioning Spanish town and a popular holiday destination rolled into one. Situated 25km from Malaga airport in between Benalmadena to the east and Marbella to the west, Fuengirola boasts a perfect location for tourists hoping to experience the best the Costa del Sol has to offer.
The resort’s tight and pretty streets are home to a large number of exceptional tapas bar, independent shops and thriving bodegas, making this a great place to explore on foot. Beachside, the resort is a delight, with the imposing castle at one end offering breathtaking views across town and out to sea, while the promenade buzzes with activity throughout the day. The beach itself is wide and sandy, ideal for children and sun worshippers.
Some of the main attractions in Fuengirola include Fuengirola Zoo, which is small but mightily impressive; AqualandWaterPark and the Myramar Shopping centre – a huge mall situated on the edge of the resort. For nightlife, Fuengirola has a good selection of bars and clubs, plus the more hedonistic venues of Benalmadena and Puerto Banus can be easily reached.
