Fuengirola

Fuengirola, a compact city covering just 10.2 square kilometers with a lively population of 68,646 locals or ‘Fuengiroleños’, is a historical gem on the Costa del Sol. Despite its small size, it’s a hotbed for real estate investment, with eight kilometers of pristine beaches attracting those looking to buy a house in Spain. Landmarks like Castillo Sohail, alongside archaeological sites and the City History Museum, add to the city’s charm and are key attractions for the Spain real estate market.

The city, which has expanded into the Mijas territory due to its booming tourism sector, has a rich history that dates back to Phoenician traders and has seen growth under Roman and Muslim influences. The famed Castillo Sohail, once a site of commerce and defense, now doubles as an open-air auditorium, perfect for investment in Spanish property and cultural engagement.

Named after the Genovese ‘girolas’ fishing boats, Fuengirola merges its fishing traditions with modern tourism, offering a sought-after destination for property seekers and holiday home enthusiasts on the Costa del Sol. The city’s blend of historical allure and modern living makes it an ideal spot for those interested in properties for sale in Spain, looking to move to Spain, or searching for apartments on the Costa del Sol.
