Mouth of the Fuengirola River

Highlight • River

The mouth of the Río Fuengirola is a particularly beautiful spot to cycle and take stunning photos. As the river opens to the sea, a wide, bright panorama unfolds, with calm waters, Mediterranean light, and the imposing Sohail Castle in the background. The cycle paths run directly along the riverbank, offering unobstructed views of the estuary, which glows in warm colors, especially at sunrise and sunset. The combination of river, sea, nature, and the modern bridge creates an atmospheric backdrop, ideal for capturing evocative images.

Sohail Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle, built under the Arab Umayyads, was situated at the mouth of the Fuengirola River. Its ruins lie south of the river, 38 meters above sea level. Sohail Castle was built in 956 by order of the eighth Emir and first Caliph of Córdoba, Abd ar-Rahman III, to strengthen coastal defenses, on the foundations of an older fortress of Phoenician or Roman origin. Sohail was captured on August 7, 1487, during the Reconquista, by the Christian troops of the Kingdom of Castile and León, twelve days before the capture of the provincial capital, Málaga. The castle was severely damaged in the fighting.

Sohail Castle was built in 956 on the orders of the eighth Emir and first Caliph of Córdoba, Abd ar-Rahman III, to strengthen coastal defenses. Today, the restored fortress walls of Sohail Castle regularly host cultural events such as festivals, artistic performances and musical events, including the Noches del Castillo ("Castle Nights") with pop and rock concerts and the Fuengirola City Festival.
