Basically a ribbon development, Fuengirola sprawls for 6½ mls along
the beach, extending 1½ mls inland at its widest point. The resort has
the feel of a mini-Benidorm, with thickly spread, high-rise buildings
catering for the vast influx of mainly British tourists. However, it
still boasts a large fishing fleet, and the narrow, generally busy coast
road is pleasant enough, stretching the length of the beach. The
bustling central tourist-orientated area covers 4 mls of beach front
which is roughly divided by the marina and extends rather chaotically
inland for ½ ml; city-centre driving is certainly not for the faint of
heart or those with a fear of parallel parking.Fuengirola is situated on
Spain’s S coast, roughly midway between Torremolinos (to the E) and
Marbella (to the W). It is 19 mls SW of Malaga; 16 mls SW of Malaga
airport.
