Fuengirola

Originally founded by Phoenician traders, who used it as a fish-salting harbour, Fuengirola later became Roman, Moorish and then Spanish. For centuries it fell victim to North African pirates, who raided for loot and slaves, but since the 1950s the town has been an integral part of the Costa del Sol, its long sandy beaches lined with resort hotels and holiday apartments.

Vibrant, cosmopolitan and at once also typically Spanish, this is a town with a pace and ambience that is unmistakably Andalusian, and as a result a very pleasant place to wander the streets shopping or visiting the many local restaurants, cafés and tapas bars. Foreign residents have long since taken to this town, buying holiday homes along beachside areas such as Torreblanca and Carvajal, and in residential zones such as Higueron, La Sierrezuela and Montebello.

The area offers wonderful sea and mountain views, excellent facilities and a location midway between Marbella and Málaga. Golf, water sports, shopping, dining, tennis clubs, horse riding and also such activities as paintball, go-karting, an excellent BioParc zoo and musical and cultural pursuits are available on your doorstep, making Fuengirola popular with holidaymakers and residents alike.
