Exploring Fuengirola, Spain

If you follow me on Instagram you will have known that last month I spent a week in Spain with my best friend to celebrate us both turning 21. The weather was beautiful, the food was great and the people were lovely, and like usual, the holiday flew by and I was back in rainy England before I knew it. 

We flew into Malaga and travelled by coach to our hotel in the town of Fuengirola right on the beach front. Our hotel was beautiful and clean and perfectly situated, with plenty of bars and pubs around the area and beach front to go to, where the entertainment was fun, and the prices cheap.

We spent one morning at the Bioparc, which is a small sized zoo/wildlife park with a range of animals not far from Fuengirola - walking distance, where we got to walk through the Lemur exhibit which was my favourite part.

Fuengirola is situated in a perfect area for being able to travel to the surrounding towns. From our hotel (Hotel Angela) it was only a short walk to the bus station where you could catch a regular bus to lots of places. We decided to visit Torremolinos and Marbella, both very beautiful and picturesque. 

I would definitely recommend Fuengirola and Malaga as a holiday destination, the area is perfect for a relaxing beach holiday, or a tourist and sightseeing break, we managed to do a bit of both in our short time vacating there. 

Where are you heading on holiday this year?
