The Surrounding Area
The Dona Sofia complex really does enjoy the best of both worlds. Immediately in front is a broad, paved promenade leading to a wide, clean, sandy beach with beds, umbrellas, shower facilities and the usual range of water sports. Dotted along the promenade are chiringuitos (Spanish fish restaurants) where you can enjoy a spot of lunch or just a cool drink in the shade while you watch the world go by. Restaurants, bars and cafes are plentiful in the surrounding streets and walkways and cater to a cosmopolitan clientele, serving anything from a good old English fry up to far more exotic fare.
Just around the corner is a large Crazy Golf course and there are plenty of small shops, supermarkets and newsagents in the area supplying anything from sun tan lotion to the Sun newspaper! Slightly further back from the complex is a large supermarket selling a good range of international and local products at very reasonable prices and, just a bit further afield, visitors to Dona Sofia can now enjoy the brand new shopping, restaurant and cinema complex (showing the latest films in English) Parque Miramar.
In the evenings the Paseo (the longest in Andalucia!) is clean, safe, well lit and pleasantly dotted with benches, statues and greenery. Enjoy a stroll in the sea breeze to work up an appetite for dinner or head towards Fuengirola centre and watch the bustle of tourists and locals in their finery as they head off for an night on the town. In the summer months the Paseo also plays host to an eclectic mix of buskers, performers and street vendors so there's always plenty to see and buy.
Heading towards Fuengirola centre you will notice (the further away from Dona Sofia you get) that bars, restaurants and nightclubs begin to proliferate. Finally you will reach the area known locally as Fish Alley, opposite the port that features streets and streets of bars and restaurants, one after the other, all catering to just about every nationality and budget. Surrounding Fish Alley are clothes shops, jewellers, shoe shops, gift shops and a host of other establishments selling a bewildering array of goods.
