The Plaza de la Constitucion in Fuengirola is really the heart of the town. The pretty square with the striking white church at its centre is popular with locals and tourists alike, and it really comes alive at Christmas though with the arrival of the Christmas market.
Fuengirola’s Christmas market may not be the biggest or the best you will find in Europe but it has a lovely family-friendly atmosphere and enough of the cottage-like huts selling unique gifts, food and drink to keep you occupied.
The Christmas lights around the square are beautiful and there is also a traditional nativity scene lit up outside the church.
The Bar La Plaza at the top of the square is also a great place to sit, relax and people watch. You can enjoy modern tapas dishes here throughout the day too.
For those who enjoy a refreshing gin and tonic you have to try Dry Martini, a specialist gin and cocktail bar. Situated directly opposite the church, this is the perfect spot to spend an evening people watching and sipping on gin cocktails.
There are lots of little restaurants and bars in the streets that surround the Plaza de la Constitucion so take a walk from the square and spend an evening exploring the many hidden gems nearby.
Fuengirola may not be the obvious choice of destination at Christmas time but a trip to the Plaza de la Constitucion is sure to leave you feeling festive.
