Fuengirola in Malaga, can probably be known by its five miles of wonderfull and sandy beaches or by its hotels and apartments offering beautiful views of the Mediterranean sea and the coastline. A new and wider promenade with colorful flowers and palms will make us to enjoy strolling along it. Fuengirola can be considered a favourite place to many tourists and families for their holidays. The beaches along Fuengirola - Los Boliches, Gaviotas and Torreblanca - hold a European blue flag.
Fuengirola, surrounded by Mijas and Marbella to the west and by Torremolinos and Benalmadena to the East, can be considered a fairly well-connected tourist center, even more if you take into account the short distance to the main places of interest on the Costa del Sol.
Fuengirola is particularly popular with tourists with a wide variety of entertainment and restaurants to choose from. Andalucian traditional tapas (snacks bars) to local fish restaurants to the British Fry-up's all make Fuengirola a popular choice for going out to eat. There is no shortage of things to do in Fuengirola, ranging from such family fun activities as the Aqua Park, a trip to the Fuengirola Zoo, a ride around town on 'the little train' or on a horse-drawn carriage, right through to a host of water sports.
One of the more recent attractions of this city is the new Fuengirola Town Hall, sporting an innovative design and a large plaza ideal for taking a walk or a few minutes repose. Fuengirola beach walk Fuengirola castle (Sohail Castle) has become the town's symbol; situated outside the town on a hill it commands an impressive view over Fuengirola and the sea. The castle is most likely of Roman origin although it was restored in the Tenth Century by Abderrajman III under the Moorish reign of Andalusia.
Tuesday is market day. Open in the morning, El Baratillo de Fuengirola is the largest outdoor market on the coast and attracts visitors from nearby resorts as well as the locals. It is well worth going down to browse at the wide range of traditional Andalusian produce. There is also a Saturday flea market here with the usual selection of items on sale. For the locals everyday life continues in Fuengirola and the fisherman still go out to sea, reminding one of the small fishing village it once was.
Mijas & Mijas Costa
One of the finest examples of the white villages (pueblos blancos), Mijas still has much of its charm with its little whitewashed houses perched on the hillside. The village has also managed to retain some of its quaint traditions, one of the most unusual being the donkey-taxis which line the central plaza. Mijas is a typical Andalucian village, perched high above Fuengirola and Mijas Costa with spectacular views of the coast and surrounding heavily wooded mountains. Mijas is a web of narrow cobbled streets complete with terraces overflowing with geraniums, red tile roofs, archways and of course, the occasional chirping canary. Like Ronda just over the mountaintop, the village dates back to distant times and there are two Mudejar churches here to prove it, as well as the sanctuary of the patron saint of Mijas, from the year 850.
One of the most interesting buildings in Mijas is the hermitage of El Puerto which can be spied just about everywhere in the village! Keep looking and you may just catch a glimpse of a hang glider wafting over the peak. Mijas has one of the country's few oval bullrings (it's also small) and some interesting churches and other monuments giving insight to its past: Roman, Moorish and Spanish. The journey along the old road between Mijas and Benalmadena, among the pines and little chalets that mark the route, is like a continuous balcony which overlooks the sea.
During high season the village can be crowded with tourists visiting from along the coast. Higher in the town the streets turn into flights of steps and the higher you climb the quieter it becomes, and the cheaper the cafés, restaurants and bars are. Also look out for the mineral water spring at the entrance to the village. There is a thriving arts and crafts movement in Mijas, particularly linen and wicker items, and the locally made bread and honey is definitely worth trying. For more information about these local trades visit the Mijas Town Hall.
Mijas Costa
La Cala de Mijas BeachJust as Mijas village is serenity, tradition and culture, so Mijas Costa parallels that magic combination of sun, sand and water sports. The La Cala beaches have been awarded the "Blue Flag" as among the best in the province, and are geared to provide action: jet skiing, water skiing and parasailing are all on the go. Be sure to check out the chiringuito (beach restaurant) charm here too, where you can sample a variety of Spanish seafood eaten with the favourite holiday drink, tinto de verano - ordinary red wine topped up with carbonated water, either regular or lemon-flavoured.
The Mijas municipality covers an impressive 148 sq. km and includes two major urbanisations, Sitio de Calahonda and Riviera del Sol. The former is informally known as the English village in Spain and the place to come for karaoke, second hand shops, British doctors and dentists, Indian restaurants, imported foods and, naturally enough, a plentiful choice of pubs. The nearby Riviera del Sol is similarly inviting and popular among foreigners, particularly the large commercial centre with its bar, telephone booths and grocery store combined. The sports centre is also well equipped and includes an 18-hole golf course and thriving tennis club. The many complexes in Mijas Costa are home to much of the area's expatriate population, composed mainly of British, Germans and Scandinavians. The area is marked by lots of pretty coves and beaches with housing complexes (urbanizations) behind. Most of the complexes are carefully designed to incorporate Spanish influence and care has been taken not to produce concrete monstrosities, but extensive building development means that it looks likely that many of the urbanizations will soon join to form a town of their own.
Mijas Costa also boasts some of the coast's more famous golf courses including La Cala Resort. Mijas' neighbouring golf hotspot, it is the largest golf complex in Spain with 3 full courses: Campo América, Campo Asia and Campo Europa. This beautiful 1,000-acre complex is only a short distance from the Sierra de Mijas Natural Park, and includes property with apartments, homes, villas and a luxury hotel.

Marbella Nightlife
The nightlife in Marbella is impressive, more than anything in Summer. Marbella has several discos and areas of environment on the outskirts of the city center and in the marinas as: Marina of Marbella. Located in the heart of the city and also Puerto Cabopino, 15 kilometers east from the urban center .. Also within the city are typical locations such as bars, bodegas, pub. If you are looking for a more luxury nightlife, Puerto Banus, which is next to Marbella worth the visit.
Marbella Beaches
The beaches of Marbella are 26, featuring Pinillo beach and Fontanilla beach. Below you can find two of the most importants Marbella beaches.
Fontanilla beach, next to Puerto Banus, is 1 Km. long with an average width of 30 m. It presents a high grade of occupation and owns a promenade. It has surveillance equipment, Local Police, as the Red Cross and rescue team and signaling danger. The accesses may be on foot, by car (with parking) or bus.

Among its services with surveillance equipment, showers, litter bins, cleaning service, access gateways, rental umbrellas, hammocks and water sports.
There are many beaches for every taste, from not crowded beaches, nudists beaches to the most popular beaches where taking baths of sun. We are sure you will enjoy Marbella beaches.
Torremolinos
Torremolinos is the largest of the resorts of the Costa del Sol and probably the most famous, closely followed by Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Malaga. It has received somewhat of a bad reputation, which has led local authorities to improve the cleanliness of the beaches and make an effort to keep the night life under control. During the tourist season, different nationalities come together in Torremolinos for a little "fun in the sun." During the day the 9 km of beach are packed with bodies taking advantage of the summer sun. Temperatures often hover around 30 - 40 degrees C (from 85 - 100 Fahrenheit). There are plentiful beachfront cafés (called chiringuitos) selling fried fish, snacks and soft drinks, which are as good as the ride back from the main beach to the centre of town - uphill all the way.
When the sun sets, the town is still full of life. Restaurants in Torremolinos provide almost all possible flavours, so you won't feel like you're only trying typical Andalusian food. Bars in Torremolinos are in abundance which claim their heritage from one nationality or another: Irish, British, Dutch and German. Name it and Torremolinos probably has it. If you like fish we stronlgy recommed you to visit La Carihuela, it has the best concentration of fish restaurants in Costa del Sol. Crowded nightclubs pump out the latest music and remain open until dawn, or even later. There's no mistaking: Torremolinos is a place to have fun, so if you're looking for calm and relaxation do it elsewhere!
After the peak of summer's high season, Torremolinos becomes a quiet place. The 'party hearty' atmosphere decreases and travelers come to stay during the calm winters. The beach promenade is packed with Spanish families who go out for lunch and stroll the beach on Sunday. The mixture in Torremolinos of sun, fun and value for your money has caused people to come back year after year.
Definitely worth seeing, Calle San Miguel is a beautiful little street lined with small shops and cafés, and provides a glimpse of what Torremolinos was in past years, a small fishing village. There aren't many museums or national monuments, but young people and families alike can enjoy the Torremolinos water park, AquaPark. There is also a nearby riding school that provides equipment, lessons and training, as well as pony rides in the mountains.
Torremolinos Water Park
Torremolinos Water Park Aqualand waterpark sits just 10 minutes from the centre and promises a whole days worth at least of water fun. New attraction - the Boomerang is just one of the superb water rides and slides available here. Other favourites include the Black Hole involving plunging for over 100 metres round dark water lined bends. Plenty on here too for the tots including a mini park all in one swimming pool with mini slides and mock castle. The highest Kamikaze water slide in Europe is here at 22metres. You'll need to recover in the calm waters of the Laguna Tropical or relax in the Jacuzzi after than one. A gift shop, snack food outlets and restaurants, ice cream stands and even a photo processing lab are all on-site, as well as garden areas and adjacent.
Beaches in Torremolinos
The beaches of Torremolinos are 4: Bajondillo, Playamar, Carihuela and Los Alamos. Featuring Bajondillo and Carihuela.
Bajondillo beach has a length of 1,100 meters and an average width of 40 m. High grade of occupation in urban area and seafront promenade. It has a moderate swell.

It counts on the red cross and rescue team. It is easily accessible on foot and by car or bus. Parking area. Disabled access.

Playamar beach just head from the Bajondillo beach, is one of the most popular beaches of Torremolinos. The beach even has a children play area, showers, car park and access for handicapped. Like the area of Bajondillo, has access on foot, by car or bus.
Alamos beach; for a quiet beach you should try the beach of Alamos, which includes all facilities for tourists. The nearer to the east you seat, the wuiter the beach is.
Between Playamar beach and Bajondillo beach are 4 entrances to the center of Torremolinos, one of them disabled ready with a lift, the rest are stairs which you can enjoy the views of Playamar.
Benalmadena
Benalmadena is located to the west of Malaga and Torremolinos, although due to the expansion of both Benalmadena Costa and Torremolinos there is little distinction in terms of distance between the two. Benalmadena's tourist explosion occurred later than Torremolinos' and it has managed to avoid some of the uglier large concrete developments of the 1970's. Make no mistake though: this is still the heart of tourist country with crowded beaches, an abundance of British bars and restaurants to cater for most tastes.
Benalmadena Puerto Marina has given Benalmadena Costa a new focal point. Popular with locals and tourists alike, the place has a distinctly international feel to it. Acting as a centre where families can spend time during the day with several shops, cafes and restaurants, while at night transforming itself into the place to go for young 'party goers.' The area is crammed with a variety of nightclubs and bars playing the latest music and staying open until sunrise (or later). Prices are more expensive than those in Malaga city centre, however most visitors should find them in line with prices from their home countries or similar tourist resorts.
The once famous Plaza Sol y Mar – better known as the 24-hour square (due to the bars and clubs staying open all night) – has now been completely rebuilt as a commercial centre with shops and cafes. The town also boasts a sea life centre in Puerto Marina, and the Tivoli theme park in the conjoined village of Arroyo de la Miel. The Torrequebrada hotel to the west of the town is one of the finest in the area, with a golf course, casino, restaurants and an international show.
While Benalmadena Costa manages to attract both family-based clientele and the 'young, fun-in-the-sun' tourists Benalmadena Pueblo – which sits high on a hill looking down over the coast - has largely remained an Andalucian village. While there are several expatriates living here, they were mainly among the first wave of those to relocate to the Costa del Sol, many of them purchasing and having built large villas perched on the mountain side. Among these were some of the more notorious to move to the coast in the late 70's and early 80's, and possibly as a consequence Benalmadena Pueblo is a quiet and private affair.
Benalmadena Marina
From Benalmadena marina you can walk all the way along a flat promenade to Torremolinos with plenty of little bars and restaurants on the way for refreshments. Look out for the ancient Moorish watchtowers. Alternatively you can walk in the other direction along the promenade to the western edge of the resort.
Benalmadena Puerto Marina rates amongst the best in the world, proof of which is the fact that it has been several times winner of the 'Best Marina in the World' award. By day you can visit the Aquarium, hire a boat, partake in numerous water sports, including sailing, scuba diving, kayaking, water skiing. The Marina's Centro Náutico was built and set up to provide a place in the Marina where sailing enthusiasts could meet up and hold sporting events and also meet socially. The centre has social and formal meeting rooms, a fine restaurant, commercial units, and shops selling selling sailing equipment.

Verified Homeowner
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
