Fuengirola is located in the heart of the Costa del Sol within the province of Málaga and stands as one of southern Spain's most popular tourist destinations. The city's history dates back to antiquity, having been settled by Phoenicians and Romans who called it Suel. The most prominent historical site is the Sohail Castle, built by the Moors in the 10th century on Roman ruins, which now hosts various concerts and cultural festivals. Geographically, the city is defined by its eight-kilometer coastline, featuring some of the best-equipped beaches in the region and one of the longest seaside promenades in Spain. Since the 1960s, Fuengirola has evolved from a small fishing village into a cosmopolitan city where people from over 130 nations reside. The economy is almost entirely driven by tourism and the real estate sector, supported by major attractions like the Bioparc Fuengirola, an innovative immersion zoo.
