The municipal area of Fuengirola is one of the smallest in the province of Málaga, consisting merely of the coastal strip occupied by the town and the Santa Fe de Los Boliches district, which make up seven kilometers of excellent beaches.

Although it may have a Phoenician origin, the town’s history begins in the Arabic times with the construction of Sohail Castle for defense purposes, part of whose walls still remain until today. The town center still retains a certain traditional air, albeit it is today characterized by the hotels, apartments, restaurants, etc needed to its main source of income which is the sun and sand tourism.

Fuengirola was inhabited by the bástulos, the Phoenicians, and then later the Carthaginians. The Romans called it Suel, and the Arabs Sohail, the name of a star in which according to Ibn-Jallicam, could only be seen in the peninsula from this spot.

In the year 912, Abderraman III ordered the building of a fortress on the small hill that stands between the coastline and the mouth of the River Sohail; the remains of this said castle, though in a state of extreme disrepair, still form an important feature in the landscape of the coast of Fuengirola. It was then used for military purposes and to monitor the coast until the 19th century, playing a major part in the War of Independence.

On the 7th of August 1487, Fuengirola was captured by the Catholic Monarchs.

In the 17th century, the town acquired its present-day denomination which appears to be derived form the name by which it was referred to by the Genoese sailors who came to the shores and used dragnets, which they called “gironas.”
