Fuengirola

Roughly speaking, around 25% of Fuengirola's residents are foreigners, and that figure rises sharply in the summer season, when even more Northern Europeans come to enjoy the sun, the beach and everything else this lively town has to offer. Fuengirola is a town with a buzz, plenty of people and an exceptionally wide range of activities and services for the many visitors who come to holiday, spend the winter or settle here.

Historically, Fuengirola has also been 'invaded' by foreigners: first by the Phoenicians, who founded the town, and later by the Byzantines, the Romans and the Moors, who occupied the town for centuries (and had a great influence on it) until it finally came back under the Spanish Crown and the rule of the Spanish king in 1485. During the 1960s the town really began to grow as a tourist destination.

Above all, Fuengirola offers a charming harbour, an attractive seafront promenade with everything that goes with it, and more than 7 km of sandy beach from Sohail Castle in the west to Torreblanca in the east. There is a wide choice of holiday apartments and individual holiday homes for both short- and long-term rental.

Food, nightlife, shopping, culture and large markets that invite you to explore – there is almost no limit to what the town has to offer. Two major attractions are the popular zoo – 'Bioparc Fuengirola' – and the handsome old Sohail fortress, built by the Moors in 956,  which is not only worth a visit in itself but has also been restored and is used for several large cultural and music events.

Fuengirola has excellent transport links, with buses to most of Andalusia and a train station where the coastal train connects directly with Málaga Airport in just 33 minutes – as well as with Málaga city centre and the many destinations along the coast.

Come and visit Fuengirola if you like a vibrant, cosmopolitan town with lots of beach life, modern amenities and a wide choice of food and culture.

If you rent the home in the winter months, it is only a 1.5-hour drive from the house to southern Spain's largest ski area, "Sierra Nevada", which offers both black and red runs as well as a sledging slope; ski equipment can be hired in Sierra Nevada. In the opposite direction lies the British territory of Gibraltar, steeped in history and home to "The Rock".
