Why Is Fuengirola So Popular for Foreigners?

Fuengirola has grown into a modern and bustling large town with a good range of amenities and acts as a centre hub for numerous satellite large urbanisations within its vicinity such as Mijas Costa and right along the coast up to Calahonda.

Fuengirola is located some 28km West of Malaga city, it is accessible via the dual carriageway which then turns into the AP7 toll road or via the old N340 which is the coastal road taking you past locations such as Torremolinos and Benalmadena.
