Estepona to Fuengirola

Even though we had enjoyed revisiting Estepona without remembering much about it from our holiday years ago, we had to move on. Today we were expecting the arrival of our final guest of the year, a former work colleague of mine, also called Steve.  He was flying in to Malaga and we had said that we would meet him in Fuengirola.  Our plan that we would be there before him was dashed, by light winds on our journey but he seemed happy enough. His flight has been (unusually in our recent experience) on time, and then he had taken the train along the coast. The station was within a couple of hundred metres of the marina, and he was sitting behind a beer by the time we arrived.

I can say that Fuengirola is challenging Albufeira for its place in our affections, but you may need to check up on what we thought of Albufeira. Let’s say that it was not a place that we would rush back to. At least the marina found us a space, when it was otherwise full and as a result, we made full use of the facilities. The marina in fact was probably the best bit of the place. We walked out to find a supermarket to obtain the food for a few days as we expect to be anchoring as much as possible over the next few days.
