Living in Fuengirola
Fuengirola is the most convenient town on the Costa del Sol for living without a car: seven kilometres of continuous seafront promenade, the Cercanías commuter train to the airport and Málaga every 20 minutes, and all services concentrated within a compact municipality. Los Boliches and the town centre are the most sought-after neighbourhoods; Torreblanca and Carvajal offer peace and quiet and views just minutes from the sea, and the Higuerón hill is home to the most modern, sport-oriented properties.
The town has one of the most established foreign communities in Spain (particularly Finnish and British), an urban atmosphere all year round, Sohail Castle as its icon and a constant programme of concerts and fairs.
Buying property in Fuengirola
The star property is the apartment near the seafront promenade: it keeps attracting both buyers and tenants all year round. The resale market in Los Boliches and the town centre is liquid; new-build developments are concentrated in Torreblanca, Carvajal and Higuerón, with higher specifications and prices. At EVS PROPERTY GROUP we advise you on which buildings and comunidades (communities of owners) age best two streets back from the sea.
Frequently asked questions about Fuengirola
Which part of Fuengirola is best for buying property?
Los Boliches offers the perfect balance of beach, services and train; the town centre is the focus of urban life; Torreblanca and Carvajal offer more square metres for the same price, with sea views; and Higuerón has the newest, most premium properties.
Can you live in Fuengirola without a car?
Yes, it is one of the few towns on the Costa del Sol where it is easy to do so: the whole municipality is flat and walkable, the Cercanías commuter train connects with the airport and Málaga, and interurban buses serve Mijas and Marbella.
How do long-stay rentals perform in Fuengirola?
Very well: in addition to summer tourism, there is strong winter demand from northern European retirees who rent from October to April, which allows you to combine seasons and improve your annual return.
Do holiday rentals work in Fuengirola?
They work well, with one advantage: the season does not end in September, because Nordic winter tourism keeps occupancy up when other destinations empty out. You do, however, need to register the property in the Andalusian register of holiday rental homes and obtain a number from the national single register (registro único) to advertise it on online platforms, and since 2025 the comunidad (community of owners) can veto new holiday rentals in the building. Check this before you buy.
Why do so many Nordic people spend the winter in Fuengirola?
It is a tradition going back decades: the Finnish community is so settled that Los Pacos even has a Finnish school, and Swedes and Norwegians complete a huge winter community. The reasons are practical: a mild climate, a flat seafront promenade several kilometres long that is ideal for walking every day, shops and healthcare open all year round, and the Cercanías commuter train to the airport. For you as an owner, it means rental demand in winter too.
