Fuengirola

Fuengirola is a fantastic holiday destination with 6km of golden sandy beach and a lovely palm tree lined promenade. Now a thriving tourist centre in Costa del Sol, it originated from a teeny fishing village and has emerged as a top Andalucian resort.

Fuengirola is just a 25-minute car ride from Malaga airport making it an easy journey. People often compare Fuengirola to other areas in the Costa del Sol such as Benalmadena and Marbella however it has its own authentic feel! A weekly flea market provides an extra splash of colour at the Feria ground or days of watery fun are available at the local Aquapark. Costa del Sol's racecourse, Hipodromo, is located here, so race along to place a bet. 

The town has numerous lively bars and several Irish pubs and there is a fabulous array of eating options including lovely local haunts where delicious tapas or Andalucian specialities are served. Wander the tiny cobbled streets of Los Boliches a beautiful seafront area of Fuengirola with many lovely restaurants and bars. As Andalucia is home to flamenco, search out some cabaret acts where folklore shows may whisk you off on a swirl of scarlet polka dot skirts, clicking castanets and thrumming guitars. Fuengirola Costa del Sol is a lovely resort for families and couples and is a marvellous holiday choice.
