After years of long hours in the HNS their dream is to buy a holiday bolthole in the sun, for quick getaways whenever they get the chance - and they’ve chosen the coastal town of Fuengirola as their dream destination. Jean Johansson has 5 great properties lined up for their budget of £130,000 – but will any be perfect?

About the area

On the glorious Costa del Sol and nicely positioned between Malaga with its busy airport welcoming flights from across the UK and glamourous Marbella, Fuengirola is a real holiday home hotspot. It’s a busy town filled with traditional squares and tree lined avenues as well as a stunning stretch of beach backed by a great promenade, paseo Maritimo, at five miles, its one of the longest in Spain. You’ve also got some great spots either side of the town, like la Cala de Mijas, a more traditional and rather exclusive coastal spot, and Torremolinos, a bustling place packed with holiday fun.
