Fuengirola
The equable climate of Fuengirola has attracted tourism in recent years,
but this bustling town has an interesting -- if at times obscure -- history,
much of which revolves around the recently restored Sohail Castle.

General Climate and Weather in Fuengirola
The Sierra de Mijas.rise to over 1100 metres to the north of Fuengirola, and the Sierra Blanca exceed 1200 metres in height to the west. These high hills act as both a barrier to the cold northerly winds that occasionally affect much of the rest of Iberia during the winter months, and provide shelter from rain-bearing fronts that make rare excursions into southern Spain from the Atlantic. Rainfall is largely absent during the summer months, and with a regular afternoon sea breeze, the intense heat of inland Spain is seldom experienced. This makes Fuengirola one of the best resorts for all-the-year-round good weather in Europe.
