Fuengirola

The address

An honest read on Fuengirola

Fuengirola is the Costa del Sol's most genuinely urban beach town. Eight kilometres of continuous promenade, a Cercanías commuter train that puts Málaga's old town 30 minutes away and the airport 12 minutes away, and a centre that stays busy 365 days a year. The apartment stock is dominated by 1970s and 1980s blocks on the seafront — many now fully renovated — and a newer ring of contemporary developments inland around the AVE-connected Las Lagunas and Los Pacos. Pricing is the lowest of the four 'name' coastal towns, and short-term letting yields of 6–7% gross are realistically achievable. For buyers who want walkable beach life without a car, Fuengirola is the answer.
