Fuengirola is at the heart of the Costa del Sol, and is one of the main tourist destinations, so holiday villas in Fuengirola are particularly popular. Its growth started in the 1930s when the first hotel complexes were built, and were completed in the 1960s as was also happening in its neighbouring areas. Since its beginning at the hands of the Phoenicians under the name of Syalis, Fuengirola has undergone significant changes. After the Punic war it passed into Roman hands, and then the Arabs arrived to rename it Sohail. They built the famous castle that is currently the symbol of the city. During the Christian conquest, Fuengirola became part of Mijas until it finally achieved autonomy in the mid-nineteenth century, with an economy based on fishing and port activity. At the beginning of the last century, the arrival of the railway would be the trigger for the subsequent tourist development that placed Fuengirola as one of the main holiday destinations in the country. Particularly sought after in the summer for its beaches, such as the Carvajal beach, Los Boliches or the Castle, are also complemented by a stellar nightlife on the main strip. It is useful to know what each area of the city can offer. Here we have the four best places to find your villas in Fuengirola:

• Centre: The apartments here are an excellent option if you want to live the experience as a local. On the one hand it is a dynamic and lively area, particularly that of the Paseo Marítimo, but also offers quieter places for relaxing without giving up the central location. Pueblo López and Miramar are probably the two best alternatives to disconnect from the more crowded areas and both very close to the Bioparc, one of the great attractions of Fuengirola.
Torreblanca: Located in an area higher than the main centre, it was built more recently and is a good placed for a more secluded trip. It is located in the north between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, along with some very popular areas such as Carvajal, El Ciprés, La Katria or Los Pacos which are all great for apartments to rent in Fuengirola for long term.The Roman Archaeological Site and the Seat 600 roundabout are two nearby points of interest.
• Los Boliches: This old Fuengiroleño neighbourhood was once a small fishermen's hamlet, although has undergone many changes in recent years and now self catering apartments here are highly sought after.

The train station as well as an important part of the Paseo Marítimo that includes all sorts of restaurants and shops. Of course, along with the high availability of villas for holiday rent.
