Costa del Sol holidays : Fuengirola

Looking for nice beaches to lie on this summer? Well, on Costa del Sol you have a wide range of resorts to choose from. Among the most popular, we can find Fuengirola a cosmopolitan town located at only 25km from Malaga. This small fishing village became in a few years a nice resort with all the amenities you need to spend active holidays. It is now easy to find a Fuengirola hotel or a Fuengirola apartment to enjoy the numerous activities of the region.

If you are searching for more sporty activities, you can choose between going to the gym, horse riding or golf. Of course, as every good resort in Costa del Sol, Fuengirola offers a variety of water sports: from jet skis to speed boats.

Finally, if you prefer visits and want to see the most famous places around Fuengirola, you can take a walk and see the Plaza de Toros or the harbor. The zoo "Bioparc Fuengirola" is also well known and gives you the opportunity to see endangered species, or tropical forest animals in their recreated natural habitat.

During summer, you will be able to enjoy Spanish dance and music at night. In August, you can even attend a tapas fair. And finally, from the 17th to the 20th of August, a medieval market is set up inside the castle to recreate the atmosphere of old times with traditional clothes, music and food.

As I said, no chance to get bored in Fuengirola this summer!
