Fuengirola food fiesta..........

[spaceman]

Hi All,

Anyone know if it's possible to eat well in the tourist trap that is Fuengirola? Looking for any suggestions, be it for tapas, lunch, or dinner.

Cheers,

A.

You wouldn't believe it, so incongruous it seems, but in Fuengirola there's one of the best Asturian restaurants away from Asturias: El Higuerón. Actually, it's modern Spanish, but with the accent on Asturias. One 'sun' in the Campsa guide. Their web site is partly under construction, but it may give you a better idea:

Portofino and Aroma are two other OK restaurants.

If you are in the mood for Moroccan, I would suggest trying El Sultan. For seafood, check out La Caracola.

The situation has changed a lot since Fernando Martin (former executive chef) left....

For tapas & a good selection of Spanish wines try El Tostón (C/Alfonso XIII. Edif. Terminal - Fuengirola) and Casa Navarra (Carlos, the owner, is from Navarra region and has excellent quality food) (Carretera Mijas km4).

Good luck and enjoy the best climate in Europe

The current chef is José Gabriel Bascoñana. I think the restaurant has gained in consistency and reliability, not lost since the unpredictable Mr. Martín left.
