TORREBLANCA - Districts of Fuengirola
On the hill on the side furthest east of Fuengirola is the neighbourhood of Torreblanca, easily accessible by bus or car and also by train to the Torreblanca train station. The road up through Torreblanca winds past some very beautiful, established villas with impressive gardens. As with the whole coast, much development has gone on in this area over the last few years and there are now also apartment blocks and many more houses than ten or twenty years ago. However, it has maintained its intrinsic Andalucian country/suburban style and is still very much a favoured area for a peaceful holiday close to the beach, or a good permanent neighbourhood.
The Torreblanca Hotel is set at the foot of the hill and is a comfortable five minute walk to the beach. The 200-bed hotel is a landmark and is close to the train station.
One of the privileges of living in this very nice residential area of Fuengirola is the much sought after views from many of the houses and apartments and the tranquil, leafy location of many of the properties. There are shops and facilities close to hand and it is a very short drive to Los Boliches or the town centre for shopping.
