We watched several Youtube videos about the Costa del Sol, but nothing is better than actual boots on the ground. This coast stretches from Malaga down past Puerta Banus, the town we stayed in back in 2023. We are lookin to find a town that has good public transportation, is close to a major city but is still small enough to have everything we need close by. We liked what we had seen about Fuengirola online so we made this our home base. We used the car to drive along the coast to also see some of the other towns along the coast in the direction of Malaga. The drive was fun and we saw lots of places along the coast. Then we drove back and went to the mall in Fuengirola. We had lunch and then headed out on foot to explore more of this little town.
This dome was in the hotel and over the restaurant and we could see it from the elevator
Mustache mirror
Nice calm waters
The hotel was nicely decorated
We are headed out and driving along the N340, the main drag on the coast
Several roundabouts later we arrive in Benalmadena
Another decorated roundabout
Big elevator to the upper sections of town
Moorish architecture
The roundabout in Fuengirola
Miramar is a big shopping mall
Big enough to have trees inside
Stopped in for a bite
Tiny Vespas
These seagulls like the leftovers
So many birds
The sea wall is really a wall
Torro!
A very serious sand artist
Each face was labeled
Nice decorative touches around town
Rowin out into the sunset
Rowing out while the tiny sailboat gets towed back in
Sore shoulders mean it is time to walk the SUPs back
Getting rowing lessons
Two very strong paddlers
We got to watch them go back and forth several times
It has been 3 years and 155 days since we began our Migration
