Swanky resorts don't come much swankier than the ones found on holidays to Fuengirola. Upscale restaurants, designer shops, luxury hotels and a gleaming coastline add to its sparkling credentials.
Once upon a time, Fuengirola was a sleepy fishing village. Today you’ll find that this chic coastal town is one of the top destinations on the Costa del Sol. A blend of historic buildings, pretty plazas and modern architecture gives the place a lived-in feel. The luxury hotels, trendy bars and a range of restaurants serving local and international cuisine ensure the town is always buzzing.
There’s no doubt that the biggest draw of Fuengirola lies in its glorious sandy beaches. Fuengirola’s main stretch of shore measures some seven kilometres. It's divided into eight different beaches, of which several have a Blue Flag award. The beaches here have all the things you need: soft sand, heaps of parasol-shaded sunbeds, a ton of elbow room and great surf. The entire stretch is backed by a restaurant-studded promenade, perfect for a lazy lunchtime break.
A trip to Andalucia wouldn’t be complete without an excursion to the town of Granada. Nestled at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains, this extraordinary town is home to the UNESCO-listed Alhambra Palace. This Moorish castle is an icon of Spain, having watched over the hilltops of Granada for over half a millennium. Only a 2-hour drive from the streets of Fuengirola, this ancient citadel is a must-see.
