Things to do in Fuengirola today

Fuengirola at a glance

Fuengirola is a town on the Costa del Sol, in the province of Málaga, with a compact centre right on the sea. Most of its leisure is spread across three areas that are easy to walk between: the town centre, the marina (puerto deportivo) and Los Boliches, the old fishing quarter east of the centre. The Paseo Marítimo Rey de España promenade links all three along the coast.

PulseCosta lists 762 visible venues in Fuengirola. This guide focuses on the 252 leisure venues: bars, nightlife, beach bars and live music. The «Right now» block and the events list are refreshed every time the guide is published.

By day: beach, promenade and castle

The simplest plan is a walk along the promenade and a beach of your choice: Los Boliches, the town beach or the beaches towards Sohail Castle at the western end. The castle is a fortress of Andalusí origin next to the mouth of the Fuengirola river and hosts concerts in summer. Beach bars (chiringuitos) along the promenade serve food and drinks by the sea; the beach bars guide sorts them using PulseCosta data.

At night: town centre, marina and Los Boliches

At night, the atmosphere moves between the streets of the centre, the area around the marina and Los Boliches. You will find tapas bars, pubs, cocktail bars, Irish and British bars and a few clubs. Weekends are when most venues are busy after dinner. To see where people are right now, open the Fuengirola tonight guide.
