Fuengirola
The liveliest town on the Costa del Sol with an 8-kilometre promenade, a buzzing centre and something going on all year round. Discover the neighbourhoods, the affordable property prices and the convenience of a real town by the sea.
A Real Town That Never Sleeps
Fuengirola is not a holiday village but a fully fledged town. With 80,000 residents, its own hospital, two train stations and a buzzing shopping centre, it is one of the few places on the Costa del Sol where you can live all year round without a car.
The wide promenade stretches for 8 kilometres along one of the best beaches on the coast. Behind it you will find the authentic fishing quarter of Los Boliches with its seafood restaurants, and the modern centre with shops, theatres and markets. All within walking distance.
