Why Fuengirola is best explored by car
Fuengirola is a coastal municipality on the Costa del Sol with over 76,000 inhabitants, 7 km of seafront promenade and more than 300 sunny days per year. The Cercanías C-1 line connects Fuengirola to Málaga Airport and Málaga city well, but the most interesting destinations in the area are unreachable without a car:
- Mijas Pueblo — the whitewashed hilltop village overlooking the coast, 8 km inland via the MA-426, with no direct train service
- Bioparc Fuengirola — one of the most visited zoos on the Costa del Sol, designed around tropical ecosystem immersion; located 10 minutes on foot from the Miami Car Hire office
- Sierra de las Nieves National Park — Spain’s youngest national park, 46 km inland, with no public transport access from the coast
- Ronda — the historic cliff-top city above the Tajo gorge, reached via the A-397 mountain road (84 km, 1h 10 min)
- Sohail Castle — the Arab-era fortress at the mouth of the Fuengirola River, accessible by car or on foot from the town centre
The Miami Car Hire office on Calle Hernán Cortés is a 5-minute walk from Fuengirola Cercanías station (C-1), making it a natural pick-up point for travellers arriving by train from Málaga Airport or Málaga city centre.
