Where to stay in Fuengirola

Staying in Fuengirola Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets, the beachfront, and plenty of good spots to eat. The Ilunion Fuengirola is a solid choice right on the seafront, and the Hotel Las Piramides is another reliable option close to the action.

If you prefer something a little quieter, Los Boliches is a short stroll or taxi ride from the market areas and has a more local, relaxed feel. Either way, Fuengirola is compact enough that you won't need to travel far to get around.

The Tuesday Market is the largest street market in Fuengirola by a considerable margin, with 470 outdoor stalls covering clothing, footwear, flowers and plants, nuts and dried fruits, and fresh fruit. It draws shoppers from well beyond Fuengirola itself and is held weekly throughout the year.

The Saturday Flea Market is the second largest outdoor event, with around 300 stalls focused on antiques, handicrafts, clothing, footwear, and books.

The Summer Artisan and Ecological Market adds a seasonal option with 20 stalls of handicrafts and organic produce during the warmer months.
