Fuengirola

Fuengirola Information
Right by the mediteranean sea you find Fuengirola, which is 32 km from Malaga and 8 km from Mijas.
Fuengirola is a popular town for tourists, and the town has come along way since the days of being just a simple fishing village. The fishing still does take place and this you can experience in one of the many local restaurants where they serve great fish and seafood dishes.

The town is a great mix of both local Spanish residents and foreigners. Many who actually lives here either part of the year or permanent.

You can also visit the local market which is every Tuesday. Here you will find everything from clothes, shoes, herbs and spices and olivies. One corner of the market is dedicated to fruit and vegatables stalls where the smell of tropical fruits tempts you.
