Fuengirola city guide

Top things to do in Fuengirola

One of the main reasons tourists travel to Fuengirola is the beach. The sea is lovely for a swim, watersports, and cruises, so it tends to dominate people's itineraries. But aside from the water, Fuengirola has a lot to offer. There are intriguing museums and cultural attractions, lots of shopping, and fantastic restaurants for unforgettable meals. Here are our top picks for things to do in Fuengirola:

Museums in Fuengirola

Museo de la Ciudad

The Museo de la Ciudad is a great place to start exploring Fuengirola. It will give you a comprehensive overview of the area from the earliest settlers up to the present day. The museum also focuses on the tourist boom on the Costa del Sol, which should be interesting, as chances are, you're one of them.

The museum is very close to the city center, next to the Town Hall, and when you visit, you will see exhibits spanning topics like the honor and tradition of Japan and the life and legacy of Catholic Monarchs, so it's not only about the city. The museum's hours fluctuate based on the day and season, so checking their hours before you head out is wise.

CAC Mijas

About a 10-minute drive (or 30-minute bus ride) from Fuengirola, you'll find the Contemporary Art Center in Mijas. Open since 2013, entry is as little as €3, and the collection features pieces by well-known artists like Picasso and Dali, along with other Spanish (or Spanish-influenced) artists. The relatively small museum manages to pack over 400 items into the collection, so stop by if you're a fan of contemporary art and local culture. Pay particular attention to the significant collection of Picasso ceramics.

Picasso Museum Malaga

Since you're in the area, it would be a shame not to visit the Picasso Museum in Malaga, where he was born. The whole region celebrates Picasso, but this museum is ideal for true fans. In total, there are nearly 300 works in the collection at Buenavista Palace, many of them donated by the artist's family. The Picasso Museum has a cloakroom for things like umbrellas, carry-on suitcases, and backpacks. These are not allowed in the exhibits, and if you have anything larger with you, it's better to visit a Bounce luggage storage location first.

Shopping in Fuengirola

Centro Comercial Miramar

When you need a large mall to wander for a few hours, see a movie, grab a bite, or just take a break from the sun, Centro Comercial Miramar is the place to go. The mall provides the perfect combination of local chains and larger international ones like Benetton, Primark, Levi's, Zara, and H&M; the list goes on and on. Over 140 stores await you here.

As for other things to do at Miramar, the movie theater is great for a rainy day (although rare) and even shows some movies in the original English version with Spanish subtitles. The food court contains familiar favorites like Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts, and KFC, alongside options for Italian, Thai, dessert, and, of course, tapas.

Fuengirola Port

When you just want to pick up a few souvenirs and don't want to spend all day inside at a mall, head for some browsing near the Port. Streets are lined with various souvenir shops, and a particular favorite is Cristal España for its handcrafted glass items, painted rocks, and other higher-end souvenirs. Just make sure you have room in your carry-on to bring these precious items home with you. It's easy to pause your shopping for a bit and sit down for a cocktail, coffee, or even a meal at any of the cafés and restaurants in the area.

Local markets

Markets are a fun way to kill an hour or two, and Fuengirola has a few to choose from. On Tuesdays, there's the one at the Fuengirola Fairgrounds that offers everything from clothing and shoes to souvenirs, fresh produce, and pastries. On Sundays, Calle Méndez Nuñez comes alive with an exciting street market. In all, there are over 130 stalls here for you to peruse. Lastly, on Saturdays, there's the 300-stall-deep flea market, also held at the Fairgrounds.

The markets, shopping streets, and malls of Fuengirola can be busy places. Don't carry too much with you because you're bound to pick up a few new bags on the way. Use a Bounce secure luggage storage location before you head out for the day, and leave us your beach gear, backpacks, suitcases, and anything else you don't need.

Restaurants in Fuengirola

Restaurante Botavara

When only a seafront dining experience will do, the answer is easy - Restaurante Botavara. The sunny outdoor patio is the place to be in the summer, as long you don't mind the heat. Otherwise, they have shaded spots and indoor seats that are almost as good. Given its location, it may not be all that surprising that Botavara specializes in fresh seafood cooked in a variety of ways. You can't go wrong with the catch of the day, the langostino (a cross between a prawn and a lobster), or the calamari. But if you don't enjoy fish or seafood, it's probably best to give this one a pass, even though it's one of the best restaurants in the area.

Lotus Steak & Burger House

Sometimes it's nice to have something other than seafood in a seaside town. If that's the case, head to Lotus for some of the best burgers and steaks in town. They also do plenty of salads, pasta, and even fajitas. The menu is in English, which makes it easy to read, and the service and value are great. Grab a seat outside or in the modern dining room and prepare for a satisfying meal.

La Bohemia

It's fun to have a leisurely breakfast or brunch on vacation, and La Bohemia is among Fuengirola's best. With your brunch, you can have an inventive cocktail to really complete the experience. They offer things like a full English breakfast, eggs benedict, and avocado toast, so while it isn't exactly Spanish cuisine, it's tasty, reasonably priced, and ideal for picky eaters.

Many of the Costa del Sol restaurants are on the small side, so the staff are unlikely to appreciate you having extra bags at your table. Store luggage instead at one of Bounce's luggage storage facilities, and you'll be set up for a leisurely after-dinner stroll along the water.
