Fuengirola is an international melting pot, a fact which is represented not only by the tourists but by the bars as well. One moment you can be enjoying a pint of Guinness in an Irish pub and the next you could find yourself trying to understand the lingo in a Swedish club.

The most lively place to be is down on the Fuengirola front. Here there are several concentrations of bars spread out along a 400 metre stretch. The bigger pubs incorporate many club elements, such as dance floors and DJs. Funky Town's two most popular places currently are the London Pub, which attracts mainly English crowds and Old Town, a huge pub/club that has a more cosmopolitan flavor. There are also a number of very cool theme pubs easily discovered during a walk along the front. Prices in Fuengirola vary and it is not unusual to pay as much as you would in Marbella or Puerto Banús in some bars.

The more concealed bars spread out along the back streets of the town are popular with locals and may also be worth a visit. Even if this town didn't have a club scene it has enough nightlife in the bars alone to warrant a visit.
