This resale apartment is situated on the tenth floor of a 1970s building in Torreblanca, a coastal district of Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. The property comprises 65 m² built (58 m² usable) with one bedroom, one bathroom, and a south- and west-facing terrace enclosed with Lumon glass curtains offering sea views. The building has three lifts and reduced-mobility access. The location places beaches, a train station, shops, and daily amenities within walking distance, with Málaga Airport approximately 18 km away. The asking price is €249,000, and the property is completed and available.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in Torreblanca, within Fuengirola's urban fabric in the province of Málaga. Playa de San Francisco is roughly 400 metres away, and Fuengirola train station 500 metres. The terrain is flat, with a slope to the beach of about 2.8%. Marbella is 24 km away and Málaga 27 km.
The property functions as a compact one-bedroom home or secondary residence. Daily needs, supermarket (112 m), pharmacy (226 m), cafés, and restaurants, are reachable on foot. The glazed terrace extends the usable living space year-round. A communal parking area is included, and the building's three lifts and adapted access support accessibility.
This is not a new-build development. The building dates from 1970 and the unit is a resale property in good, recently renovated condition. The kitchen has been fully renovated and equipped; the bathroom is described as being in good condition. Completion status is immediate, with no construction phase or delivery waiting time.
The property has one bedroom and one bathroom within 58 m² of usable space, which limits capacity for larger households. There is no private garden, private pool, or private garage; parking is communal. The building originates from 1970, so construction standards differ from current new-build regulations. No energy performance label is recorded in the available data.

This property matches several recognisable buyer situations. A single person or couple seeking a primary residence in a walkable coastal town can manage daily life here without a car, given the supermarket, pharmacy, train station, and beach all within a short walk. Buyers of retirement age may value the three lifts, the adapted building access, and the flat terrain on the route to the beach, a 2.8 per cent gradient removes the hill-climbing that characterises many Costa del Sol locations. Second-home buyers who want a lock-up-and-leave base near the airport benefit from the 18 km distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol and the proximity of the Cercanías train line, which serves the terminal directly. Investors considering holiday or long-term rental should note that one-bedroom units in Fuengirola form a liquid segment of the rental market, supported by the town's 25 hotels and 8,085 tourist beds as an indicator of visitor demand; however, rental income depends on licence status, community rules, and market conditions that fall outside this dataset. The property suits less well where space for a family, a private garden, a private pool, or a dedicated garage is required. Buyers seeking modern energy performance may also wish to verify the building's insulation and systems independently, given its 1970 origin.
The interior reflects a renovation carried out at resale standard rather than developer specification. The kitchen has been fully renovated and equipped; the bathroom is recorded as being in good condition; wood flooring is fitted; wardrobes are built in; and windows are double glazed. The most distinctive technical element is the enclosed terrace with Lumon glass curtains, a frameless glazing system common on the Costa del Sol that allows the terrace to function as a semi-conditioned room. In practical terms this reduces wind and dust exposure, retains heat in winter, and moderates summer sun, though it also means the terrace behaves differently from an open balcony in terms of ventilation. Buyers should note the distinction between built area (65 m²) and usable area (58 m²): the difference of 7 m² typically corresponds to walls, terraces, and communal-element allocations under Spanish measurement conventions. As a 1970 building, the construction predates the 2006 Technical Building Code and subsequent energy regulations, so thermal performance, insulation values, and heating/cooling systems differ from new-build norms. No energy performance certificate rating is recorded in the available data; prospective buyers can request this document, which is legally required for sale in Spain. Building-level features include three lifts and adapted access for people with reduced mobility, which is not standard in buildings of this era and represents a documented advantage. Communal parking is included. A technical survey is the standard instrument for verifying the condition of plumbing, electrics, and the glazing installation.
The asking price is €249,000 for a completed, immediately available resale apartment. Within Fuengirola, comparable offerings include Urban City Horizon from approximately €250,000, Luminal Homes from €282,450, and Edificio Lúxor from €285,000, though those are typically new-build products, which carry different construction standards and warranty arrangements. At €249,000 this unit is positioned at the lower end of that comparison set, with the terrace glazing, renovation of the kitchen, and tenth-floor sea views as the principal justifying features. Additional purchase costs (transfer tax, notary, registry) apply on top of the asking price.
Daily life in this apartment centres on the tenth-floor position and the glazed terrace, which acts as an intermediate space between the living room and the open views over the Mediterranean and the coastline. Because the terrace is enclosed with Lumon glass curtains, it remains usable in cooler months and effectively adds a year-round sitting area to the 58 m² interior. The south-west orientation means the property receives light through the middle of the day into the evening, with the practical consequence of warm afternoon sun on the terrace and, in summer, late-day brightness requiring shading for comfort. The surrounding district, Torreblanca, is an established residential and tourist area within Fuengirola, a city of roughly 85,000 inhabitants that swells considerably during the holiday season. The immediate streets contain apartment blocks, small shops, and restaurants rather than green space; the nearest park within the dataset lies about 1 km away. The supermarket is 112 metres from the door, the pharmacy 226 metres, and the beach roughly a seven-minute walk, so the daily routine can be conducted almost entirely on foot, a point of note for buyers who prefer not to rely on a car. The train station at 500 metres connects Fuengirola with Benalmádena, Torremolinos, and Málaga city, including a stop at the airport. Locally, 14 public transport lines and 33 stops serve the municipality. For recreation, the seafront promenade, the marina at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (0.6 km), and several municipal sports centres lie nearby. The rhythm of the area varies with the calendar: lively and busy in July and August, considerably quieter outside the main season.
The immediate environment is urban and service-dense: within a 2 km radius, the dataset records 217 restaurants, 64 cafés, 37 pharmacies, 27 banks, and 9 dentists. This density means that almost any daily errand is within a short walk or bicycle ride, and it underpins the walkability of the location. The nearest hospital is 8.5 km away, while three health centres operate within Fuengirola itself; the closest sports facility, Complejo Deportivo Municipal Elola, is 500 metres away and a municipal swimming pool (Piscina María Peláez) lies at the same distance. Fuengirola station, 500 metres from the property, is the terminus of the C-1 Cercanías line to Málaga via the airport, with intermediate stations at Carvajal (3.7 km) and Torremuelle (6.4 km). For motorists, the A-7 and AP-7 connect westwards to Marbella (24 km) and eastwards to Málaga (27 km). The nearest EV charging point is 92 metres away, and a Tesla Supercharger is located 4.5 km away. The character of the area shifts with the season. The resident population of about 85,000 is complemented in summer by tourist flows concentrated along the beachfront, with the associated traffic and noise in July and August. Outside the high season the district quietens noticeably, and local businesses adjust their opening patterns accordingly.
The map shows the apartment's position in Torreblanca, between the N-340 coastal axis and the beachfront. Points of interest include the three nearest beaches under 700 metres away, Fuengirola train station, the marina, and the golf courses to the north-east. The flat terrain towards the sea is visible in the contour-free coastal strip.

The site sits at 14 metres above sea level on flat terrain (2.8 per cent gradient to the beach), which distinguishes it from hillside Costa del Sol locations. Historical climate data for the area indicate approximately 3,897 sunshine hours per year and an average annual temperature of 18.7°C, with monthly averages ranging from about 14°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The sea-swimming season, months with water temperatures of 20°C or above, extends to roughly four months per year, concentrated between June and October. The south-west orientation of the apartment maximises afternoon and evening sun, which suits terrace use outside the peak of summer but implies active shading or ventilation during hot afternoons in July and August. The Mediterranean climate supports year-round outdoor use of the coastal promenade and the 269 recorded sports facilities in the municipality.

Within Fuengirola's current offering, this unit is priced below the nearest comparable products: Urban City Horizon starts at approximately €250,000, Luminal Homes at €282,450, and Edificio Lúxor at €285,000. Those projects are new-build developments, which typically carry modern energy standards, developer warranties under Spanish law (ten-year structural guarantee, three-year habitability, one-year finishing), and communal facilities. This apartment competes on different terms: an established tenth-floor position with unobstructed sea views, a functioning urban location, and a completed, immediately usable condition without delivery risk or off-plan payment structure. The resale context matters for valuation. Fuengirola recorded 2,391 property transactions, reflecting a liquid market where resale stock turns over regularly. Older buildings in Torreblanca trade at a discount to new-build equivalents in the same postcode, which reflects both construction age and the absence of modern amenities such as gyms, pools in some cases, and underground parking, this building offers communal parking rather than a private space. Against Marbella, 24 km west, Fuengirola's pricing per square metre is generally lower, and its urban density higher; against inland Mijas Golf-area properties, this location trades golf proximity (3.8, 4.4 km to three courses) for direct walkability to the beach and train. For buyers weighing a €249,000 budget, the trade-off is essentially between modern construction at the edge of town or a renovated, view-oriented unit inside the established urban fabric.
