Property for Sale in Los Boliches, Costa del Sol

Los Boliches is the western seafront district of Fuengirola, a traditional former fishing quarter that has grown into one of the busiest residential and leisure areas on this stretch of coast. Its long beach and promenade are the centre of life, and the streets behind are full of cafés, bakeries and family-run shops.

The district has a distinctive local character.
