If you're staying in Fuengirola and seeking the perfect day trip, look no further than the iconic Rock of Gibraltar. Just about 105 kilometers southwest, Gibraltar is an easy drive, typically taking about an hour and a half to two hours along scenic coastal routes.

Once you arrive, you'll find a treasure trove of attractions awaiting you. The Rock itself is home to the Barbary macaques, the only wild monkeys in Europe, adding a touch of wilderness to your visit. Don't miss the siege tunnels, a remarkable engineering feat that played a crucial role in Gibraltar's military history. At the summit, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views stretching across the Mediterranean Sea and even as far as the coast of Africa on a clear day. This journey from Fuengirola to Gibraltar combines history, nature, and spectacular scenery, making it an ideal day trip for anyone looking to explore the diverse attractions of southern Spain.

A day trip to Gibraltar from the Costa del Sol is an ideal excursion, and the best way to visit is to drive down and park on the Spanish side of the border to avoid lengthy queues when entering and exiting Gibraltar.
