Fuengirola is one of the most sought-after areas on the Costa del Sol - especially among Swedes who want to combine a sunny climate with proximity to services, the beach and an active life. For those who are considering buying a home in Fuengirola, the possibilities are many - whether you are looking for a holiday apartment, a permanent home or an investment.

Why buy a property in Fuengirola?
 With over 320 sunny days per year, long beaches, proximity to Málaga airport and a rich range of activities, Fuengirola is one of the most comfortable cities to live in as a northerner. Here there are schools, healthcare centres, shopping, golf courses and local transport - which makes life easy for both families with children and pensioners.

Different types of housing
