3. Torreblanca Beach

The buzzing energy of Fuengirola’s beaches is part of the area’s charm, but when you feel like a change of pace, you can always head to Torreblanca Beach. Although it is still very popular, its location slightly further from the city center means it is often quieter than some of the other beaches. Come here to enjoy beautiful sea views, good facilities and a wide range of options for things to do.

4. Sohail Castle

Sohail Castle is by far the most recognizable symbol of Fuengirola. Perched on a hill overlooking the sea, this imposing landmark has stood in the same place for over a thousand years, despite being partially demolished and rebuilt multiple times during this period. Visit it to take in stunning views of the city and the sea, to learn about its history in the small museum located inside or to attend one of the festivals regularly held in its grounds.
