Fuengirola Area Guide
Fuengirola is probably most famous for its five miles of Sandy beaches, flanked by hotels and residential blocks of apartments with magnificent views of the Mediterranean and its sweeping coastline. A recent landscaping drive by the local municipality has resulted in a wider promenade and plenty of palm trees, interspersed with colourful flowerbeds and additional seating. The beaches known as Boliches, Gaviotas and Torreblanca hold a European blue flag.
Fuengirola is particularly popular with Spanish nationals, many of whom own summer apartments here. There are also a considerable percentage of British and other nationalities with the result being an impressively wide variety of entertainment and restaurant choice.
Every Tuesday you will find the largest and liveliest street market on the coast. There is certainly no shortage of things to do in Fuengirola, ranging from such family fun activities as the aqua park, a trip to the zoo and a host of sea sports. A leisurely sight seeing tour on a horse-drawn carriage, or a short stroll by foot, will take you to Los Boliches, which still reflects the ambience of a bygone era with narrow streets, shops and traditional white washed houses which once belonged to the local fishermen.
Fuengirola is often visited by residents from the surrounding areas for its array of shops and brand new state of the art, Shopping Mall.
