Property for sale in Los Pacos, Fuengirola

Living in Los Pacos

Los Pacos lies on the edge of Fuengirola, next to Los Boliches, set back from the coast with the Torreblanca hill behind it. What used to be a few dusty streets is now a complete residential district with its own schools, sports facilities, shops, cafés and restaurants. In the 1970s and 1980s it was mainly a Finnish enclave, and the main street is still called Calle Finlandia.

Today it is especially popular with young families, both Spanish and international. People genuinely live here, with children on bikes, neighbours who know each other and little holiday traffic.

Homes and prices

The housing mix is varied: large detached homes with private pools, streets of small two-storey townhouses and newer apartment blocks with penthouses. A few whitewashed Andalusian cottages from the early days still stand between them. According to idealista, the average asking price in Los Pacos was around €3,524 per m² in September 2026, well below the Fuengirola average of €4,452. The same budget therefore buys noticeably more space here than by the sea.

Daily life and getting around

A frequent bus runs to central Fuengirola, and improved roads put the A-7 close by. Los Boliches beach is roughly one to one and a half kilometres away, depending on your street. Sporty residents have the Los Pacos Rackets Club for padel, among other facilities. Los Pacos has no train station of its own: the nearest are Los Boliches and Torreblanca.

What to check

With older townhouses it pays to check the roof, damp and permits for later extensions. If you plan to let, think long term: this is not a tourist area, and holiday rentals in Andalusia require a licence in any case.

Also look at where in the district a home sits. Streets bordering Los Boliches are the most practical if you like to walk everywhere. Towards Torreblanca it gets hillier, but that is where you are more likely to find a home with some view.
