Fuengirola: Guide
Fuengirola is a city in the Costa del Sol in southern Spain.
It's one a number of villages along the Cost del Sol that have grown up with tourism
Get in
The main airport is Malaga Internation and just about every airline in Europe run regular flights into it. The cheapest options from the UK being the usual Ryanair, Spanair and EasyJet. From Scandinvia Sterling offer a smilar service. Once on the ground you have a few options:
Drive
It's a 25 Km from airport. Numerous rental car agents operate from airport. To save your self a few euros go accross the road from the airport rather than renting inside the airport. To be honest this is actually a poor option unless you are only stopping over night. In Fuengirola it is difficult to find on street parking and in summer the traffic is a bit of a challenge for visitors. It is better to get the train or a taxi into the city on the first night and then book a rental any day you want to site see.
Taxi
20 minutes by taxi from Malaga airport. Available 24 hours a day. Fare €25– €30 (depending on time & season. The usual rules apply when taking a taxi abroad. Agree the rate in advance, if the driver is being vague mention ask to see the rate card "to help him understand your requirement". All taxi's are required to have one.
Ignore the large vans, they will try to charge you €65 or more.
Train
This will take you 36 minutes by light rail from Malaga airport, Fuengirola is the last stop. You will get the train 2 minutes walk from terminal building, just go out the door at departures and turn to the right. It's well sign posted. The fare is €1.75 (€1.85 Weekends and holidays) but make sure you have change, it's self service and there is almost always a ticket inspector. The first train leaves at 05.44 and then every 30 minutes until the last train at 22.44 and is very punctual indeed.
Get around
Fuengirola is a city but chances are you will only visit the centre and beach front so you can walk everywhere. The light train is excallant for getting up the coast as is the bus service. Both stations are in the centre of the city, 5 minutes walk from the marina.
See
Beaches - more than 8 km of sandy beaches
Castillo Sohail - Moorish castle on the top of a hill next to the beach. In summer, there are many concerts.
Plaza de Toros - the bullring
Port - marina and fishing port
Roman ruins
Zoo - even open during the night in the summer months (viewing the night animals)
The Mijas Aquapark (located in Las Lagunas, Mijas|Mijas Costa) just 5 minutes walk from Fuengirola center is a nice day out for the kids.
Rent pedal boats, jet skis, parascending on the beach.
Visit the Roman ruins at the Torreblanca end of Los Boliches
Benalmádena port and the aquarium (about 10Km away).
Train ride to Málaga.
Feria week in mid-October every year. A mixture of music, flamenco, religion, horses, eating and drinking See the Spanish at play, when they party they do it seriously.
Play golf at one of the many courses within easy reach.
Super Sol and Mercadona close to the train station for your shopping and cheap wine.
Dunne's for the luxuries from home for the UK and Irish. Watch out it's not the cheapest!
Venture up to the centre of town from beach front. There is a great selection of shops and it's not bad price wise. Zara is our favourite but there are a wide range of other shops at good prices.
EROSKI (get a taxi, 5 euro from Marina) is a huge shopping centre on the edge of town. If you’re looking for a change it's worth a look.
El Corte Inglés, a newly opened huge department store 10 minutes walk from the center, just walk Avenida de Mijas to the other side of A7 (Coastal road) underpass.
Markets open most mornings along the Costa. If you are not sure just ask where it is at any shop or taxi. For Fuengirola here are the days and locations: Tuesdays in the Market square, Saturdays car boot sale in the Market square and Sundays next to the mosque.
The Tres Amigo’s on C/ Martinez Catena no 3, is good for lunch and evening meals at a fair price. The Mexican pizza is excallant and very clean. It is also child friendly.
Ku Damm, German Restaurant on the waterfront. Head towards the marina right down to the water. Turn right once you reach the marina, you can’t miss it. The hanging Skewers are legendary. Their lunch menu is also good value.
Fish Alley is the food quarter of Fuengirola; every possible food type can be got here. Just follow the crowd, on the beach front.
The Lemon Tree, You will need the map to find this one but it’s worth it for an intimate and memorable night out. Not cheap but dinner in the Lemon Tree garden is a special treat for couples and groups alike C/ Palangreros 12. Phone 952 47 81 82.
The Punjab, C/Hernan Cortes (just up from PYR Hotel). Good for a take away when you want to stay in. The dishes are not as hot as you’d think but nice. Only average for sit down meal.
Ying Bing, Chinese restaurant on C/de La Crus. Half way down "Fish Alley" and turn right. Chinese food in general is a little too greasy on the Costa but this place does a good lunch special. Note that lunch specials are always smaller than the same main meal!
This is very much personal taste and the kind of night you are out for. The clubs are mostly on the beach front and get buzzying around midnight. Most the good bars are actually towards the centre of town.
Hostal Marbella , - Calle Marbella, 34 in the very center, close to the church square and close to the beach, 5 minutes walk from the train station. 24 h. reception with multilingual staff, wireless internet in the rooms and in the bar.
