Fuengirola has one of the longest seafront promenades on the Costa del Sol. The pictures of Fuengirola below show you why this is one of the most visited destinations in Malaga, and even in the whole of Spain.
If you rent a car in Malaga, and reserve your Fuengirola hotel, you will be half way to Malaga-Torremolinos to the east or Marbella-Puerto Banus to the west, being able to reach the most popular Costa del Sol locations in a few minutes.
It’s not necessary to actually live in Fuengirola to be able to enjoy this seafront promenade, if you hired a car in Malaga when you arrived, you can reach Fuengirola in a matter of minutes, whatever part of the Costa del Sol you are staying at. Along the coast road that borders Fuengirola’s seafront you’ll find parking quite easily, specially if you go later on in the evening (when most of the people have already left the beach), in case you find yourself going round in circles without being able to find one single parking spot (something quite normal in high season), you can always use the public parking lots.
Along the whole seafront promenade we’ll find beach bars that the locals call ‘Chiringuitos’ every 500 metres, where once can try the famous ‘Espetos’ (sardines on the spit), and even the remains of a roman edification that is well preserved as a monument...an endless variety for our senses that can be completed with a refreshing swim in the Mediterranean.
