Holidaymakers in Fuengirola were given a fright on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at approximately 10am, when a fire broke out at a hotel on the Paseo Marítimo in the Los Boliches area of Fuengirola.
Fuengirola Fire Department, Local Police and National Police responded quickly to the fire, which started in the electrical transformer room of the hotel. The fire was extinguished and there were no injuries reported. However, the building had to be evacuated and guests made to wait for 2 more hours outside.
The hotel staff, according to the authorities, implemented the self-protection system of the establishment and evacuated almost all guests before the arrival of the fire brigade.
