Dog-Friendly Things to Do in Fuengirola

A restored 10th-century hilltop fortress overlooking the river mouth, the beach and the sea, surrounded by open parkland and walking paths. Leashed dogs are welcome to walk the outdoor grounds and the hill around the walls, with the dog beach and riverside park directly below.

At around 7 km, this is the longest seafront promenade on the Costa del Sol, running the full length of Fuengirola past palm gardens, playgrounds and dozens of chiringuitos. It is a flat, breezy, on-leash walk that links the town's beaches from the central sands to the Castillo Sohail dog beach.

Fuengirola's acclaimed immersive zoo recreates tropical habitats in the middle of town and is a major local attraction. Like nearly all zoos it does not admit pets, so it is a stop for a companion to visit while someone stays with the dog, or a skip on a dog day.
