FUENGIROLA
, fifteen minutes along the train line from Torremolinos, is very slightly less developed and infinitely more staid. It's not so conspicuously ugly, but it is distinctly middle-aged and family-oriented. The huge, long beach has been divided up into restaurant-beach strips, each renting out lounge chairs and pedal-boats. At the far end is a windsurfing school.
Rooms
are difficult to find in August, but you could try
Hostal Italia
(tel 952 474 193; e¬36-48), off the east side of the focal Plaza de la ConstituciEn, which has rooms with bath, balcony and room-safe, or the slightly cheaper
Hostal Marbella
, c/Marbella 34, off the west side of the same square (tel 952 475 802; e¬36-48). Fuengirola's nearest
campsite
(tel 952 474 108; open all year) lies 2km to the east of the centre and is reached by a turn-off near the junction of the N340 and the road to Mijas; bus "LAnea Roja" from Avenida RamEn y Cajal on the main Marbella road will take you there. For excellent
seafood
, try the mid-priced
Bar La Paz Garrido
on Avenida de Mijas just north of the Plaza de la ConstituciEn; alternatively, there are two seafront "as much as you can eat for e¬4.50" places,
Versalles
, Paseo Maritimo 3, and
Las Palmeras
nearby.
