The feel
Fuengirola is a working town as well as a resort: a long promenade, a broad beach, the Castillo Sohail at one end and Bioparc at the other. Los Boliches and Torreblanca each have their own character, and the train links the town to Málaga and the airport. It is one of the most practical places on the coast for a holiday home or a retirement that does not depend on a car.
Why consider it
- Seven kilometres of beach and promenade
- A train line to Málaga, the airport and the coast
- A wide range of apartments at more accessible prices
The property
The market is dominated by apartments, with new-build and renovation schemes along the seafront and in the newer barrios. Sea views come at a premium; inland streets are quieter and better value.
