Mouth of the Fuengirola River

Highlight • River

The mouth of the Río Fuengirola is a particularly beautiful spot to cycle and take stunning photos. As the river opens to the sea, a wide, bright panorama unfolds, with calm waters, Mediterranean light, and the imposing Sohail Castle in the background. The cycle paths run directly along the riverbank, offering unobstructed views of the estuary, which glows in warm colors, especially at sunrise and sunset. The combination of river, sea, nature, and the modern bridge creates an atmospheric backdrop, ideal for capturing evocative images.

View of Faro de Calaburras

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lighthouse that bears the same name as the nearby watchtower. In 1928 it took the place of the old lighthouse from 1863, due to the poor condition of the tower, which was the first Spanish maritime aerial lighthouse.

Sohail Castle

Highlight • Castle

The fortress is located on a hill at the mouth of the Fuengirola River and offers stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. The castle's origins date back to the 10th century, when it was built by the Moors to defend the coast against invaders. Over the centuries it has been expanded and rebuilt several times, especially after the Christian conquest in the 15th century. Today, the castle's restored walls and towers are an impressive example of the architecture of yesteryear. The area surrounding the castle with its well-kept park is also a highlight!
