If you’re planning to do some shopping while staying in Fuengirola, Miramar Shopping Centre is your best bet to cover everything you need in one trip.
As I live in Fuengirola and visit the shopping mall frequently, I have compiled this short guide to give you an overview of what you can expect, but also what can you discover around the shopping centre.
If you’re looking for more tips on what to do in Fuengirola, I have included some of my recommended articles at the end of this post.
Let’s dive in!
Location of Miramar: Fuengirola’s Shopping Centre
Miramar (in Spanish ‘Miramar Centro Commercial’) is located at the final exit off the A7 motorway in the direction of Marbella (marked on the google map below). It’s very hard to miss as it’s a huge building located opposite Sohail Castle.
The mall was opened in 2004 and has parking space for 2000 cars.
Getting to Miramar Shopping Centre
There are regular local buses that will take you to the mall, alternatively, you can get a taxi or uber there too. The shopping centre also has a taxi rank on the side of the building, opposite the outdoor parking lot.
If you’re staying in a hotel or apartment in the city, you can easily walk there just following the Paseo Maritimo promenade all the way to Sohail Castle and then along the river from there. To give you an idea, for example, when I walk there from Los Boliches, the walk takes me around 30 minutes.
Shops in Miramar Shopping Centre
The shopping mall has around 140 different stores covering everything from fashion, home decor, gift items, and party essentials, with cafes scattered around them and a big food court at the end.
Some of the most popular ones include:
- Zara
- Primark
- Mango
- C&A
- Deichman
- Toy Shops
- H&M
- Sphera
- Tiger
- Pull & Bear
- Superdry

Explore Around Miramar Shopping Center in Fuengirola
If you fancy a bit of exploration or a walk before or after your shopping, there are quite a few nice places next to Fuengirola’s shopping centre.
Sohail Castle
Overlooking the Fuengirola river and guarding the edge of the town is Sohail Castle, an old Castle built as part of city defence system in AD 956. While much of it is long gone, the core structure with the large courtyard still remains.
There are no museums or information boards, and not much remaining from the original structure of the courtyard. What it does offer are stunning views of the coastline, and a real-life castle playground for kids – it’s perfect for kids to explore, crawl and run around.
Skate Park Fuengirola
Right outside the shopping centre is a big skate park with a small restaurant right next to it, with chairs and tables available by the edge of the skate park, so you can watch your kids while you sip your coffee.
It’s a great place to stop over for a drink, but I would not recommend buying any food from the restaurant. The terrace shaded with trees is really pretty, but it’s right next to the main road so you get a lot of noise from the passing cars.
Mini Golf (Fuengirola Adventure Golf)
This is a really fun place I’ve been to already twice – it’s located close to the mall by the main road (the location on the map below). It’s an 18-hole golf course set among trees, so you get shelter from the sun even in the summer.
The prices are very reasonable, you can get drinks to take with you for the course, and the 18 holes are super fun to play. The course is in really good condition and they also have a small booth where you can buy drinks and some simple food and snacks. Fun day for the whole family!
