Fuengirola is on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain. It is one of a number of villages along the Costa del Sol that has grown up with, and due to, tourism. The main airport is Malaga International, and Fuengirola is only a 25km drive from Malaga airport, or 20 minutes by taxi from Malaga airport and taxis are available 24 hours a day. Another favoured option is by light rail, and this will take you approximately 35 minutes, with Fuengirola being th final stop. The light train and the bus service are excellent for getting up the coast. Both stations are in the centre of the city, 5 minutes walk from the marina.
There are more than 8 km of sandy beaches. Fuengirola Port - a marina and fishing port - is well worth a visit with its bars and restaurants, a Sunday market, and of course the boats!
There are Roman ruins at several locations, and a Zoo - this is even open during the night in the summer months, and this is great for viewing the night animals. There is the Mijas Aqua park (located in Las Lagunas), just 5 minutes walk from Fuengirola centre and it is a nice day out for the kids.
You can rent pedal boats, jet skis, and try parascending on the beach, play golf at one of the many courses within easy reach, and in October every year its Feria week , a mixture of music, flamenco, religion, horses, eating and drinking. See the Spanish at play, as when they party they do it seriously.
This large Spanish restaurant is on 2 floors in a modern square close to the seafront and the large underground car park.
A very traditional Spanish feel to this restaurant, in an area that has undergone many improvements over the last few years is well worth a viewing.
Offered at a very realistic price, well worth a viewing.
