Fuengirola has a population of around 75,953 and enjoys an average yearly temperature of 18°C with approximately 570 mm of rainfall. Its popularity stems from its excellent location near Benalmádena and Torremolinos to the east, and Mijas Costa and Marbella to the west. With 8 km of mostly uninterrupted coastline, including seven beaches—one holding Blue Flag status—it offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle. Fuengirola's efficient transport network, including a train line connecting to Málaga Airport and neighbouring resorts, as well as a well-served bus station linking to Málaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Marbella, Estepona, and even Algeciras, makes it a highly convenient place to live. These strong connections have helped fuel the town's growth and popularity as both a residential and tourist destination.
