Easy access:
The apartment is only 5 minutes drive from the railway station, with direct trains to Malaga Airport. And as the centre of Fuengirola, the beach and promenades are only a 5 minute walk away, you don't need a car. But if you do want to drive around this lovely area, there is a garage available.
Fuengirola :
Fuengirola is probably most famous for its five miles of sandy beaches, with magnificent views of the Mediterranean and sweeping coastline. A recent landscaping drive has resulted in a wider promenade and plenty of palm trees, with colourful flower beds and additional seating. The beaches known as Boliches - Gaviotas and Torreblanca hold a European blue flag. The advantage of staying here is that it is a compact seaside resort and town which has an excellent selection of supermarkets and competitively priced shops. Tuesdays you could find yourself at the largest and liveliest street market on the coast.
Activities and events:
There is certainly no shortage of things to do for holidaymakers in Fuengirola, ranging from fun activities at the aqua park, a trip to the zoo, a host of sea sports to a leisurely sight seeing tour on a horse-drawn carriage, or by foot, particularly recommended for Fuengirola's neighbour, Los Boliches which still reflects the ambience of a bygone era with narrow streets, neighbourhood shops and traditional white washed houses which once belonged to the local fishermen.
Annual fiestas here include the feast of the Virgin del Carmen in July when local fisherman carry an effigy of the Virgin out to sea, while the colourful feria takes place in October and is the time when the town really comes to life with flamenco, fino ... (dry sherry) and fun which carries on from dawn to dusk for a week.
