With an annual average temperature of 20ºC, the pleasant, warm Fuengirola climate is a major attraction for many people from all over the world. Summers are long and winters are short which means that there are very few days a year that you can’t make the most of outdoor living.
The town’s sandy beach has been awarded the Blue Flag distinction, granted by the European Union, for the magnificent quality of its sea and its sand. An impressive promenade runs the length of the beach so you can stroll along the entire stretch!
Malaga airport is just 20 kilometres away, so you could even pop home whenever. Or expand your new, cultured lifestyle and jet off to wherever you fancy! You won’t be gone for too long though, not when you’re already living the dream on the Costa Del Sol!
Fuengirola takes pride in keeping its public areas clean and attractive throughout the year. For example, the main square, Plaza de la Constitución, has recently been renovated, however, its unique traditional feel is still well and truly evident. It is beautiful during the Fuengirola summer feria, when the whole town takes part in annual street celebrations. And at Christmas, it gets highly decorated with colourful lights and ornaments!
Making friends is easy here, no matter what age you are. Children’s play parks are scattered all around the town, encouraging the wonderful outdoor living and integration of many nationalities. As for the adults, the café culture is very much alive in this wonderful town. Old and young can be seen relaxing, chatting, partying or simply watching the world go by on the many terraces scattered throughout the maze of back streets and seafront promenades. You can choose to hang out at one of the traditional tapas bars, or pop next door to find international dishes or a specific cuisine, you are almost certain to find one!
