Fuengirola

Fuengirola is one of the most popular and dynamic cities on the Costa del Sol, which over the years has evolved from a quiet fishing village into a bustling international destination. 

The history of the city is impressive and dates back to the Phoenicians and the Romans, with the imposing Moorish Sohail Castle still proudly dominating the coastline as a symbol of the past. The climate is typically Mediterranean with mild winters and warm summers, making the city attractive year-round for tourists and permanent residents who love the outdoor life.

The main attractions are the miles of promenade, the well-known Bioparc Fuengirola zoo, and the lively marina where there is always something to do for young and old. The local gastronomy offers a fantastic mix of traditional "espetos" on the beach and an enormous variety of international cuisines in the countless restaurants located throughout the city. Although Fuengirola itself has no major golf courses within the city limits, the famous "Golf Valley" of Mijas is just a few minutes' drive away, making it an ideal base for golfers.

The residents form a very international and open community, where Spanish traditions blend effortlessly with the cultures of the many European residents who have settled here. The surroundings are very diverse and offer both proximity to the beautiful mountains of the Sierra de Mijas and easy access to neighboring cities such as Málaga and Marbella. Living in Fuengirola offers many advantages, including an excellent infrastructure with a direct train connection to the airport, a very complete range of shops, and an active lifestyle by the Mediterranean Sea.
