Los Pacos: complete guide for foreign buyers in Fuengirola

If you’re thinking about buying a home on the Costa del Sol and you’re looking for a quiet, international, and well-connected area, Los Pacos is one of the best options in Fuengirola—especially for Nordic buyers and families who want to live here all year round.

Located in the northern part of Fuengirola, just a few minutes from the beach and the city center, Los Pacos has become one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods among foreigners thanks to its residential atmosphere, its safety, and its excellent quality of life.

Why do so many Finns choose Los Pacos?

Los Pacos is known as Fuengirola’s international neighbourhood and has had a sizable Finnish community for years. That’s why many buyers from Finland feel at ease from day one.

The area offers:

  • international and Finnish schools

  • Nordic supermarkets and services

  • international cafés and restaurants

  • a family-friendly, peaceful atmosphere

  • good connections to Málaga and the airport

Plus, the Mediterranean climate means you can enjoy more than 300 sunny days a year—something especially valued by those looking to escape the long winters of Northern Europe.

Many buyers particularly value:

  • the tranquillity of its streets

  • modern residential areas

  • sea and mountain views

  • its close proximity to the beach
