Basking in sunshine all the year round, the resort of Fuengirola on Spain's Costa del Sol is a holiday hot spot. That doesn't mean that accommodation there has to be beyond your pocket. As an alternative to an expensive hotel, why not try a rental property and save money? You could have a beachfront villa, or perhaps a house in the lively town centre. Your family will have plenty of space to relax in, and you can organise your schedule just as you please. Enjoy eating out in one of Fuengirola's many restaurants, or prepare your favourite meal in a fully equipped kitchen.

Fuengirola is a haven for those who love water sports, and you'll find golf courses within easy reach of the town. When you are ready for a little culture, visit the History Museum. Its collections focus on the Carthaginians, Moors and Visigoths. Don't miss Sohail Castle on a hill overlooking the sea; it was restored in 1989 and hosts concerts and festivals in the height of summer. Not far away on a hillside, Torreblanca has hot springs and the remains of a Roman fish-salting factory dating back to the fourth century. Needless to say, a resort such as Fuengirola has a buzzing nightlife.

Sea, sand and sun are never in short supply at Fuengirola's glorious beaches, but there are other activities when your children are ready for some variety. Take them for a horse-riding lesson at Rancho El Rengo, or go trekking in the nearby countryside. If they are animal lovers, be sure to visit Fuengirola Zoo; they will love the simulated rainforest. In July or August, you will even be able to see active nocturnal animals as the zoo stays open until one o'clock in the morning.
