Reasons why Fuengirola continues to captivate thousands of travellers every summer

Reasons why Fuengirola continues to captivate thousands of travellers every summer

There are destinations you visit once, and others you return to time and time again. Fuengirola clearly belongs to the latter group. Every summer, thousands of domestic and international travellers choose this town on the Costa del Sol to enjoy a few days’ rest by the sea. Many of them return year after year. But what is it about Fuengirola that keeps so many people coming back? 

A wonderful climate 
One of Fuengirola’s greatest attractions is its excellent climate. Summers are warm and pleasant, whilst the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea helps to soften the temperatures, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors for much of the day. 

Kilometres of beaches 
The town boasts over seven kilometres of coastline, where every visitor can find the atmosphere that best suits their preferences. From wide, family-friendly beaches to quieter spots for a stroll or relaxing by the sea, Fuengirola offers something for everyone. 

A unique seafront promenade 
The Rey de España Promenade is one of the longest in Spain and is one of the city’s great landmarks. Walking by the sea, enjoying the views or stopping at a terrace to contemplate the Mediterranean are just some of the little pleasures it offers. 

Cuisine to suit every palate 
The fishing tradition remains very much alive in the local cuisine. Skewered seafood, fresh fish and other Mediterranean specialities sit alongside a wide range of international dishes that reflect the town’s cosmopolitan character. This combination of flavours makes Fuengirola a particularly attractive destination for those who enjoy discovering the local culture through its cuisine. 

A perfect base for exploring the Costa del Sol
Fuengirola is ideally situated for exploring other destinations of interest such as Marbella, Málaga, Mijas and Benalmádena. This allows you to combine days at the beach with cultural excursions and a variety of experiences during your holiday. 

A welcoming atmosphere all year round 
Apart from its beaches, Fuengirola stands out for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The mix of local residents, national visitors and international travellers creates an open and pleasant atmosphere that makes many people feel at home from day one. 

Enjoy Fuengirola from a different perspective 
Apart from the beaches and the seafront promenade, Fuengirola also offers unique spots to enjoy the summer in different ways. If you’re looking for a dining experience by the sea, the Chiringuito Rivera at Hotel Yaramar is the perfect place to relax by the beach whilst soaking up the Mediterranean atmosphere. Its prime location, just a few steps from the sand, makes it an ideal spot to savour summer on the Costa del Sol. And for those who wish to admire the coastline from above, the 36-5º Rooftop Bar, located at Hotel Ángela, offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. A place to enjoy a drink, the sunset and a different perspective on Fuengirola. Two complementary options that reflect the diversity of experiences the city has to offer and help explain why so many travellers choose to return year after year. 

A place to return to 
Perhaps that is the main reason why so many travellers come back every summer. Fuengirola offers everything you need for a perfect holiday: the sea, the climate, the food, leisure activities and a quality of life that invites you to relax. Right on the seafront, Hotel Yaramar allows you to discover all these attractions from a prime location overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Its sea-view rooms, its ‘Adults Recommended’ atmosphere and venues such as the Chiringuito Rivera make it an excellent base from which to enjoy everything that makes Fuengirola one of the Costa del Sol’s favourite destinations. We invite you to book your stay via the official Hotel Yaramar website to enjoy the best rates and start planning your next getaway by the Mediterranean.

23rd March Turn off the lights for the planet

23rd March Turn off the lights for the planet

On the 23rd of March, Hotel Yaramar, in Fuengirola, joined the global movement of Earth Hour to show our commitment with environment.  

What is Earth Hour? It is more than just turning off the lights for an hour; it is a symbol of unity in defence of our planet and the people who inhabit it. 

This year, in addition to turning off the lights in our hotels, we encouraged our employees to participate by spending an hour doing activities that not only bring us closer to nature, but also inspire us to take care of it more and more each day, capturing natural beauty through photography and enjoying outdoor sports. 

Every step we took, every photo we took, contributed to a worldwide movement of awareness and action for the planet. Because, as we all know, even 60 minutes can make a difference when millions of people unite in a common purpose. 

Today, we share with you some of the incredible photographs captured by our employees during this event. Each image contains a story of connection with nature and commitment to preserving the planet. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us in this meaningful moment, dedicating an hour to nature. Let's remember that every action, no matter how small it may seem, counts in the fight for a prosperous planet for future generations.

El Chorro

El Chorro

Did you know that it is possible to visit El Chorro by train? El Chorro is one of the most beautiful places in the region so as it is a place worth visiting there are some daily trains to there departing from Malaga María Zambrano Station. This means that having a great day outdoors embracing nature is not only easy but also affordable.

El Chorro is a small village of about 250 inhabitants which belongs to Álora, a town in the centre of the Malaga province.

Due to its ecological, historical and paleontological value El Chorro apart from being a village is also a protected hilly area and at the same time one of the most important climbing centres in Europe as it is a perfect place to practice this sport.

In El Chorro there is also a beautiful reservoir commonly known as El Chorro Reservoir, though its official name is Reservoir of the Count of Guadalhorce. This is the most popular and visited reservoir in Malaga as its beauty is outstanding and it offers an extensive variety of services.

El Chorro Reservoir, located between Álora and Ardales, is also an ideal place to practice water sports like canoeing due to the great condition and cleanliness of its water.

Its hiking route is one of the most interesting in Andalusia too as it includes walking through the famous limestone gorge which was formed by the Gualdalhorce River.

If you would like to enjoy nature and get some wonderful views, Hotel Yaramar, your hotel in Fuengirola, recommends you to visit this rural paradise in the core of the Malaga province.

Get to discover the hidden gem of Costa del Sol, it will surely not disappoint!

Migas

Migas

It is winter and it is a bit chillier than the rest of the year, though here on Costa del Sol we still have a mild weather considering the low temperatures other parts of Spain, Europe and the world have. We, as locals, know we cannot really complain and are aware of how lucky we are, though when the temperatures decrease a little bit we really do fancy a tasty and warm wintery dish.

A very typical wintery dish in Malaga is migas (which literally means “crumbs”). In fact the town of “Torrox” (on Eastern Costa del Sol) is famous for its migas recipe and because there every year they celebrate what is known as “The Migas Festival”.

Migas is one of the most popular dishes of the Andalusian cuisine and also a very traditional country dish as in the old times it was eaten by farm labourers.

Migas are quite caloric and high in carbohydrates though this makes it a perfect dish if we need lots of energy and have to fight against low temperatures.

We would like to share with you one of the easiest recipes available, as there are different versions depending on the chef and the region:

INGREDIENTS (4 SERVINGS)
  • 1 big tablespoon of olive oil

  • A big loaf of French bread ( if it has at least 1 day and it is a bit hard much better)

  • 100 grams of chorizo cut in cubes

  • 100 grams of pancetta cut in cubes

  • 4 cloves of garlic

METHOD
  1. Break the bread into crumbs and put them in a big bowl.

  2. Pour a quarter of a glass of water over the crumbs to make them moist. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rest over night.

  3. When you are ready to start your cooking pour the olive oil in a big pan and add the cloves of garlic with the skin on. When they are starting to look golden take them out.

  4. Cook the pancetta and chorizo until golden in that same pan.

  5. Add the crumbs and stir for about 15 minutes.

  6. Put the garlic back in the pan and keep on stirring until the crumbs look crgolden brownumbs.

If where you live at the moment is rainy and cold we think the best you could do to cheer up is to start preparing your next holiday with us at Hotel Yaramar, your hotel in Fuengirola, and preparing a tasty dish of migasYou will surely feel great afterwards!

Typical spanish breakfast

Typical spanish breakfast

Nutritionists state that breakfast is the most important and most necessary meal of the day as it is the first and it should provide between a 20 and a 25% of our daily calorie intake.

Many dieters though make the mistake of skipping it which can have negative effects on your health, as not having breakfast can lead to obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart diseases among many other things.

At Hotel Yaramar, we do love breakfast and it is something very important to us. For these reasons we always provide high quality products in order to make your experience enjoyable and pleasant.

There are many kind of breakfast. Among the most popular ones are the Continental or the English, but did you know there is also a typical Spanish breakfast?

The most typical Spanish breakfast is a cup of thick hot chocolate with churros or a white coffee with some churros dipped in sugar.

Churros are fried dough pastries made of flour, sugar, water and a pinch of salt. Although they are considered as the most important part of a typical Spanish breakfast they can also be served for tea and they are not only popular in Spain but also in most Latin American countries.

Had you ever heard about them? Have you ever tried them while on holiday in Spain? If you did so, we would love to know if you liked them.

If you are currently on holiday at Hotel Yaramar, your hotel in Fuengirola, and you have never eaten them you might be interested in knowing that you can find them almost daily in our breakfast buffet. If you give them a go and you love them we recommend you to try the ones from the most popular “churro café” in Fuengirola. This place is called “Casa Felipe” and it is located in calle Camilo José Cela, right in the city centre, very close to Bioparc.

If you have a beautiful typical Spanish breakfast you will surely start your day with lots of energy!

Costa del Sol, Costa del Golf

Costa del Sol, Costa del Golf

Are you a keen golfer? Would you like to play more during the winter but you can’t due to bad weather conditions in your area?

If this is the case why don’t you make the most of the great weather we have in Costa del Sol by playing golf in here?

As Costa del Sol is one of the most popular destinations for golfers last June Hotel Angela, Hotel Yaramar and Hotel Florida Spa decided to create a golf department in order to make the golfing experience much easier for you.

As many of you might not know about this new department this week we would like to dedicate this blog entry to the person in charge of it: Guillermo Gonzalez, our Group and Golf Sales Executive.

We have interviewed him so you can get to know him a bit better. This is what he said:

  • What do you like the most about your job and about working in a hotel?
I’m passionate about work and I love the fact it is related to one of the most beautiful sports ever. I love to be in contact with guests, organise their stay and look after them while they are in here in order to make sure they come back home filled with beautiful memories, happy with the experience and looking forward to visiting us againThis role makes me learn daily and it is quite challenging, so this is something I really enjoy.

  • Had you worked in the golf industry before? If so, where?
I used to work for The Ritz Carlton Abama in Tenerife (Canary Islands). I was a Golf Coordinator for this great resort, which even has its own golf course. In there holiday packs included green fees for the golf course of the hotel and for other courses in the island. I was part of the reservations team but at the same time I also offered a personalised service to guests. This role also made me get some good experience at organising important golf tournaments like the Abama ProAm

  • Why do you think so many golfers come to Costa del Sol?
We have the fortune of being in one of the best places in Europe for golfing. Temperatures here are great, with an average of 28 degrees in summer and 15 degrees in winter. This makes possible to play golf all year around. As we are by the coast courses here tend to face the Mediterranean Sea so views are amazing.There are 56 courses in here and the sun shines about 325 days a year, so it makes sense that Costa del Sol is also known as Costa del Golf.

  • What would you like to say to guests who play golf at home but have never tried to play in here?
I would like to motivate them to come and play as the atmosphere in Costa del Sol is great and the service and sea facing facilities are fantastic. It is a wonderful experience to be able to have breakfast while enjoying some beautiful sea views and then in less than 15 minutes being all ready to start playing golf. Plus in the evening you can make the most of our delicious local cuisine and have fun with friends or family.

  • Do you play golf in your spare time?
I started playing 4 years ago when I lived in Tenerife. One of my best friends was a caddie master in the Abama golf course and he was very passionate about it since he was a child. His passion was quite contagious so I started to play with him as my instructor. I got hooked since that first time when I hit that ball with an 8 iron.

  • In your opinion, what does golf have that other sports don’t? Why do people like it so much?
I think you get hooked to golf from day one. It does not matter how old you are or if you are male or female. It is much more than a sport. You embrace the environment and also the social life around it. Golf is also that cold beer with your mates after playing 18 holes, the friendly banter while you are playing. Golf is also about respect as you have to follow a dress code, you get to interact in the pro-shop and also with your caddie master. And well, as in all games there are some important rules you have to follow as well.

  • Would you like to share a message with our guests?
I would love them to contact us as we will offer them a personalised service before arrival and once they are at Hotel Angela, Yaramar or Florida Spa. They will enjoy lots playing golf in Fuengirola no matter if they are skilled golfers or beginners.

Thanks a lot for the interview, Guillermo!

If after reading this post you are eager to visit Costa del Sol to play golf and have a great time please contact Guillermo Gonzalez at: guillermo.gonzalez@mlhoteles.com or ask in our receptions about his services.

Costa del Golf awaits you!

Potato Salad from Malaga

Potato Salad from Malaga

On our last post we told you about the fantastic Erotic Tapa Route of Fuengirola and we recommended you to come to our Rivera Beach Club to taste the delicious tapa our chef Salvador has prepared for this contest.

Today’s post is also about gastronomy as we are aware that many of you come to Costa del Sol because of the great weather but also because of our tasty local food.

Because of this today we would like to dedicate this blog post to one of the most typical dishes in our area: the Malagueña Salad.

This is a healthy cold salad, with potatoes as main ingredient.

Apart from boiled potatoes it also contains oranges, spring onions, cod, boiled egg and green olives.

This salad is also seasoned with olive oil and vinegar and although mixing orange with cod might sound a bit strange this combination works perfectly well to the point that this is available in most bars and restaurants in the area and it is one of the most popular starters.

In fact this salad is now part of the excelent new lunch menu of our Rivera Beach Club! This menu is available to the public from Monday to Friday (No bank or local holidays) for only 14.50€.

If after reading this post you got a bit hungry and curious we recommend you to give it a go… it is quite unique and also well tasty!

Enjoy your holiday at Hotel Yaramar, your hotel in Fuengirola, and discover with us the delicious flavours of our local cuisine!

La Casa de los Navajas

La Casa de los Navajas

Last week, here on the blog of Hotel Yaramar, your Hotel en Fuengirola we told you about the beautiful Botanical Gardens of Torremolinos.

Today we would like to continue talking about Torremolinos to recommend you one the most stunning and less known attractions in Costa del Sol.

Have you ever gone to Torremolinos, seen a beautiful building from the distance while having a walk along the Bajondillo Beach and have wondered what is it?

This small palace is known as La Casa de Los Navajas and was declared as Historical monument by the Andalusian Government.

It was built around 1925 by entrepreneur Antonio Navajas, was acquired by the Torremolinos Council in 2000 and it opened its doors to the public in 2014 after being restored.

Nowadays this beautiful 2-floor Moorish style revival little palace can be visited every day, from 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. and from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00P.M. and its entry is free.

If you are currently on holiday with us at Hotel Yaramar, and you would like to make the most of our beautiful winter sun to explore Costa del Sol, we hope you don’t forget to add La Casa de Los Navajas to your list of places not to miss.

We reckon you will love it!

Espetos

Espetos

Do you know what an “espeto” is? If you have come on holiday to Hotel Yaramar you might have seen them, heard about them in our weekly Spanish Culture session or even tried them.

Just in case you do not know what they are this week we have decided to talk about them on our blog as we really do love them.

An “espeto” is a very traditional dish of our local cuisine and it literally is a skewer of sardines grilled in those wooden fishing boats that can be found here by the beach.

As you can imagine it is a very simple, modest and healthy dish, but in our opinion it is a must to give it a go when on holiday in Costa del Sol.

For this reason, and because at Hotel Yaramar we do love food, every two Wednesdays Simon and Emily from our Thomson Team organise a fantastic activity in our Rivera Beach Club in which they show our guests how to prepare tasty “espetos” that will of course be eaten afterwards.

If you are on holiday right now at Hotel Yaramar, your hotel in Fuengirola, we recommend you to attend this fun activity on Wednesday, the 2nd of September, at 12:30P.MCooking has never been this fun or this easy!

White Night in Malaga

White Night in Malaga

With the arrival of the good weather the cultural offer in Costa del Sol increases inconsiderably, so this May, as every year, the city of Malaga celebrates its White Night.

This 2013 the White Night will be on the 11th of May from 8:00 P.M to 02:00 A.M and will offer more than 140 activities, all of them free of charge.

This year the White Night will focus mainly on the environment; you only have to take a look at the official poster to see that Malaga bets on ecology. In order to contribute on saving the planet this year the programme guides are only in digital format and available on their official website  and also on their social network accounts.

As it happened in previous editions, this year the White Night also offers special visits to museums, monuments, theatres and other interesting places in town. You will also be able to enjoy other activities like theatre performances, exhibitions, street art or music concerts among many other things.

The activities take place in different areas of Málaga, so it is better to take a look at the programme in advance in order to choose beforehand the activities you might enjoy the most.

Every year this initiative of the city of Malaga gets more popular as more people take part on it, which has made it become a real model nationwide.

Make the most of your stay in Hotel Yaramar, your hotel in Fuengirola, and do not miss the opportunity of experiencing the White Night in Malaga.

Enjoy the wonderful cultural offer available in Costa del Sol!

Beach warning flags

Beach warning flags

Many of you choose to come on holiday to Hotel Yaramar not only because of the great weather we have here but also because of our great location right by the beach.

Beaches in Costa del Sol are some of the best in Andalusia; in fact this year here we have 24 beaches with blue flags, a certification only the best beaches in the world receive.

3 of these 24 great quality beaches are in Fuengirola, and the Los Boliches one, right opposite the Yaramar, is one of them.

Although it is a fantastic beach with clean water and great sand we should always be cautious and check the beach warning flags before getting into the sea.

These flags are usually displayed alone on a pole and have a traffic light colour system. A green flag indicates a safe bathing condition, a yellow one, means bathing with caution, while a red one indicates bathing is prohibited as it is very dangerous.

Now that you know about this warning system we are sure you will pay more attention and feel much safer next time you go to the beach.

It is time to enjoy the sun and have a nice swim!
