FUENGIROLA sits between Malaga and Marbella and nestled between the towns of Torremolinos and Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol, it is located some 15 minutes west of Malaga airport and has easy access by either motorway, coastal roads and by the reliable coastal train service which runs between Malaga and Fuengirola. The town enjoys a privileged position nestled at the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas and protected even further by the Sierras of Malaga and Ronda its microclimate is one of the best on the Costa and perhaps the Spanish mainland itself.

I have spent some 25 years residing in and around Fuengirola and have seen many changes, perhaps the most important has been the massive growth in property and the ex-pat community in the area. However Fuengirola is dominated by tourism and with some 8 kms of clean sandy beaches it has become a leading holiday destination for most Europeans and Spanish nationals alike.

The newly renovated promenade is flanked by Restauarants, cafes, bars and winds along the clean sandy beaches of , Carvajal, Gaviotas, Los Boliches, San Francisco, Santa Amalia and ends at the Castillo ( the castle End ) which are all Blue Flag holders. All water sports and activities are catered for including, sailing, windsurfing, pedalos, diving and fishing trips.

Fuengirola and the areas closely adjoining the town such as Mijas Costa and Benalmadena really do provide every amenity for family holidays with a large selection of attractions and interesting venues to suit all tastes.
