2 November 2026 Torreblanca: Back to Fuengirola to Shop and Return the Car

 


We woke up in our new place rather pleased with ourselves.  We got the move completed, cleaned the AirBnB so we did not need to return for cleaning and dropping off the keys. We got a decent nights sleep, the first night is always hard.  We did take advantage of having the car and had a productive shopping run at Carfour and a stop at the Social Club.  Once we unloaded the food at our casa, I drove back to Fuengirola to return the car, stopped off at the Social club for a top off and then took the train back to Torreblanca.  The Carvajal station is actually closer and I got off at that stop to check it out one more time.  We had been using the Torreblanca station because the Carvajal station has so many stairs.  I counted them and it is over 120 steps to get from the train to the beach level.   That is settled, no more Carvajal station for us.  It was close to 4 when I got back so we had a nip and watched the water for a couple of hours.  If this view ever gets old...
