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.

5. 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.

7. Salon Varietes Theatre

Buy tickets for a show at the Salon Varietés Theatre to enjoy an evening spent doing something a little bit different. Fuengirola’s after-dark activities tend to revolve around its buzzing nightlife, but not everyone wants to spend every night of their vacation on a bar crawl. This is the only English-language theater to be found anywhere in the south of Spain, and it is well worth paying a visit to.
