Neither Marbella nor Málaga capital: this promenade sneaks among the best in the country and is perfect for your vacation

It's summer and the body knows it. Here, everyone decides to enjoy it in their own way. Many don't leave the beach, content with little more than a towel, good sunscreen, and a dip every half hour. Others have their route well defined, from the beach chair a few meters from the shore to the trusted beach bar next to the promenade. It is about these latter, about the promenades, that we talk today since one from the province of Málaga has made it into a list featuring the "10 essentials for enjoying the summer at the beach."

The promenades give identity to the beaches, they are the strip that marks the beginning and the end of a great day of sun, sand, and sea, the entrance and exit to paradise. They are usually an indispensable feature of the coveted Blue Flags, which Málaga can proudly discuss due to the large number they have along the entire coastal strip. It is the portal 20minutos that has echoed a list in which it maps out Spain's best promenades, with locations like San Sebastián, Barcelona, Alicante, Cádiz, or Palma de Mallorca, among which is one from the province of Málaga, but not the capital's, the Paseo Marítimo de Fuengirola.

"Spain boasts an extensive coastline filled with promenades, each with its own charm and unique attractions. These are ideal to visit in summer, whether to take a leisurely stroll, enjoy a drink in a lively beach bar, or simply marvel at the stunning sea views," they say about their selection, focusing on the Paseo Marítimo Rey de España, located in Fuengirola, which they describe as "a place full of life and fun, especially during the summer months."

They also do not overlook the opportunity, while passing through Fuengirola, to recommend a stop in its lands: "In addition to walking along the beach, do not miss the impressive Sohail Castle, which watches over the coast from its privileged location." Finally, they declare about the Paseo Marítimo de Fuengirola that it is a "perfect plan to enjoy the sun and sea of the Costa del Sol" this summer. Without a doubt, a great opportunity to visit Fuengirola and some of its Blue Flag beaches, which are all: Carvajal, Los Boliches-Gaviotas, Fuengirola, and El Castillo.
