Fuengirola is a community to the south-west of Málaga with 7 kilometres of fine beaches, sports and leisure centres, hotels and restaurants. The kids will love the Bioparc, a modern zoo where the animals live in their natural environment, including replication of the tropical forests of Africa, Asia and Madagascar. The Open Air Museum of Painting houses murals by Semperé (famed for Astérix) and local artists such as Rafael Peinado and Elena Asins.Read More...

For those who like a bit of history, Fuengirola’s Santa Fe de los Boliches district is the site of excavations of a major Roman villa and a suite of Roman baths. On a hill overlooking Fuengirola are the walls and towers of a Moorish castle. It was here that the Moors made the discovery of a star known as Canopus, known in Arabic as Sohail, hence this is Sohail Castle. Fuengirola has a vast choice of hotels and other accommodation.

Overlooking the port is the 4-star Hotel Las Palmeras has 410 rooms, an outdoor pool a restaurant and a café. The 3-star Las Rampas is super-handy for both the station and the beach, and is in a superb Andalucían style. The 3-star Pyr Fuengirola Apartments are right by the beach and the marina, has a pool that’s heated in winter. The 2-star Hotel Augur is only 150 m from the beach, free Wifi and free breakfast.

For a good night’s sleep, the 2-star Hostal Galan is in the heart of Fuengirola but in a quiet pedestrian street.
