A place to relax and eat good food
by zumodemango
Favorite thing in Fuengirola is, of course, a mixture of diverse things, like beach, sun, light. The combination of all make it very nice and good. Because i live in Madrid and i miss the beach, it's, of course, to toast in the beach for hours without doing asnything(reading as much) and swim like a fish in the water.
Of course, being with eva, a very good host and guide, explaining details when is "required", and listen to her stories!
Plaza de San Rafael and Roman Monument
by Waalewiener
This is as far as I walked , I came from the Bus station then I went to the Marina and I strolled along the promenade to the Playa de Los Boliches ,past the Virgen del Camen
statue and then ended up here at the Plaza de San Rafael , and then back through the business street , a very busy and narrow business street , back to the centre of Fuengirola where the busstation and the train station's are located , located.
Very close to each other just a few minutes walking. Well Fuengirola was nice ,but it is a busy place and it seems to have outgrown itself .
But it is very enjoyable and fantastic place to walk & walk & walk. Enjoy it if you go there.
Mijas Pueblo-The white villages of Costa Del Sol
by angelab_nyc
For a change of pace, just a quick bus ride from Fuengirola or Torremolinos up into the mountains you will find the village of Mijas. Also known as one of the white villages, this is a quaint Spanish town,typical white buildings, view over the mediterrean ontop of the hills. Walk about or hop in a donkey taxi, if you are wanting a tourist experience. Better to walk by foot and enjoy a tranquil lunch before heading back to the more developed beach areas.
delicious food, great wine
by zumodemango about El Toston
Very nice restaurant, Eva likes a lot, and i know now why! tasty food and nice decoration like a cellar. The terraza outside is very nice. We tried Porra Antequerana (a kind of Andalucian Gazpacho) made with tomatos, green peppers, garlic,bread, olive oil, vinager and salt. It's fantastic! then the ham, tuna and eggs. i liked a lot but Eva's home made Porra was much better.
Berengenas fritas con miel!Aubergine fried with honey! soooooo sweet....mmmm tasty-delicious(in the picture)
Markets
by rachel_sun
The hotel food was so crap we eat out every night.The first night when we were queing up for restaurant we waited like half an hour and bloke at desk kept looking.When we got there he said sorry no shorts allowed.He let us wait half an hour then told us.What a prat.He could of told us as soon as we walked up to join que.He saw us walk up.Another thing is the buffet food was cold and not enough to go around.It was really bad.But saying this it was 7 years ago so the hotel may be great now.Enough said about hotel.
There is a huge market held on Tuesadays.There is a water park near by which is worth going to called Parque Acuatico and it has water slides and pools and is open from May til Sept(end).Great for children and big kids like me ;-)
