Regional Comparison

Fuengirola, where this apartment is located, presents itself as an urban coastal destination with a strong emphasis on direct accessibility to amenities and the beach. Compared to nearby projects such as Luminal Homes (from €282,450) and Edificio Lúxor (from €285,000), this apartment falls into a higher price bracket, potentially due to its specific location attributes like beach proximity and views.
