Location Monarque Hotels Torreblanca

Fuengirola stretches along 8 km of the Mediterranean and its excellent climate and the hospitality of its people make it the ideal place for rest, peace and quiet. Fuengirola is situated in Andalusia, in the province of Málaga, Costa del Sol.

Fuengirola, also known as the White Town because of its cleanliness and whiteness as well as being an emblematic tourist centre – is the gateway of the Costa del Sol to the more typical, traditional Andalusia.

The origins of the foundation of Fuengirola date back to the Phenician colonisation, though it should not be forgotten that it was formerly a Bastulo settlement. On a hill on the right bank of the River Fuengirola its old Castle of Punic or Roman origin stands majestically, later remodelled in the 10th century by Caliph Abderrahman III.

The Romans called the city Suel as the star of the same name can be clearly seen from its castle. In the 8th century it was conquered by the Arabs who called it Sujayl, a name which was to remain until its reconquest in 1485 by the troops of the Catholic Sovereigns. In the 7th century the name of Sujayl was changed to Fuengirola because of the bolicheros (fishermen) of the Genovese called “gironas” who visited these shores owing to its abundance of fish.
