Did you know it’s actually pronounced Fu-en-hi-ro-la? Neither I, so I was happy when a native from Fuengirola corrected me 🙂
If you ever plan to travel to Andalucia, you can stay in Fuengirola. It’s much cheaper than Málaga, and there is this C1 train from Fuengirola to Málaga 3 times an hour, and it only takes 30 min. I loved this travel, because you get to see Costa del Sol throughout the travel by train. I did this every day, and some days even 2-3 times. Hehe 😉
Can you see the cute parrots here? 😉
Okay. After that walking through in Fuengirola to CC Miramar and some hours at the beach, we were of course hungry. My brother asked me if I was in mood for Mexican food. I was like “ehm, maybe”, but could feel he really wanted Mexican food for dinner, and I didn’t want to spoil anything, so I said ok. He took me to one of his favourite Mexican restaurants, Cantina Mariachi, at Calle Larga, and promised that I wouldn’t regret. And I didn’t. I came back few days later 😉
We both went for his favourite dish – an XL burrito in a vegetarian version, they made for us. It was sooooo good. Yummmm.
Also the staff is friendly and talkative. You feel like you’ve known them for ages!
The good part is that this restaurant (and many others) are located only 5 minutes by walk from my brother’s apartment. And Calle Larga definitely a great spot for dining!
Then we went to Plaza de la Constitucion. This place is indeed one of my favourite spots in Fuengirola. I am really looking forward to go back. Pl. de la Constituion is like a place for socializing it seems, and it happens just in front of the church.
As long as I was there, something happened every evening – concerts, live shows, etc., and the atmosphere was so cozy.
