Carvajal is a stop between Torremuelle and Torreblanca on the line to Fuengirola.Its a residential area, if anything there are just small bars here no night clubs as far as I know.

Pipefitter has got it absolutely right. Carvajal is by far the quietest area of Fuengirola, with five or six beach bars (chiringuitos...I rate Los Andaluces one of the best) along its near-mile stretch. However, closer scrutiny reveals the occasional restaurant as well, including a pizza place and a top-class seafood eatery.
It lacks a supermarket of any meaningful size, but a short walk (no more than 10-15 minutes, dependent of how near you are Torreblanca) will remedy that.
Carvajal is not a place to be if you crave the bright lights and "biz" on holiday, but an ideal spot if you want to switch off and enjoy the quiet life. I'd stay there in a flash!

thankyou both to your replies very helpful just wondering could you tell us a little bit more info how far is it to belamadna and feungorla walking distance to either of these resorts if is possible or if not is there a local bus to these resorts we know about the trains so if possible how long would it take to walk to these resorts thankyou once again to the both of you for being so helpful reguards s tomlinson

Hi we stayed there one, now we stay in Torrablanca. It is quite a walk into Fuengirola, not along the sea front is a lovely walk. There are bus stops on the main, to either Fuengirola or Belmadina.
There is also a train station in Caraval (not sure of spelling) and its so easy to catch the train, and cheap too.
Hope this helps you.
We are going on the 9th March to Torrablanca.

hi thanks for this imformation how long would you say then walking down the beach front to belamadana of feungrola as you say it is a nice scenic walk thanks alot hope you have a lovely time in march we are going the first of may s tomlinson

I would think about 3/4 of an hour to the centre of Fuengirola, (depends on how fast you walk, I tend to stroll) !!!!I think it could be a bit more to Belamdana tho, and its not so much of a sea front walk, you would be better on the bus/train I think.
Hope this is helpfull to you.

Having not walked to either resort,but just going by memory of distance by bus,Id say Fuengirol would be nearest but Id guess that would take at least 30 mins if not more,Benalmadena I guess would take an hour,mainly uphill untill you get to Torrequebrada.

You can get some idea of the distance from Fuengirola centre on this map: - http://www.malagacar.com/information/fuengirola_map.htm&h=219&w=312&sz=35&tbnid=IrBd4ScjfxskaM:&tbnh=82&tbnw=117&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmap%2Bfuengirola&start=2&sa=X&oi=images&ct=image&cd=2"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="break-word">http://www.malagacar.com/images/maps/fuengirola_1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.malagacar.com/information/fuengirola_map.htm&h=219&w=312&sz=35&tbnid=IrBd4ScjfxskaM:&tbnh=82&tbnw=117&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmap%2Bfuengirola&start=2&sa=X&oi=images&ct=image&cd=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="break-word">Google map Fuengirola

You'll find Caravajal mentioned in the last two squares bottom row on the right.

My family and I stayed at the Holiday Village apartments which are outside Fuengirola, further on than Caravajal and we walked to the outskirts of Fuengirola in about 20 minutes. There is no way we would have attempted to walked to Benalmadena, much too far and along a very busy road.

Edit to reduce size of url as it was streching the page. allmen

thanks everybody who has answered to our questions on carvjal very helpful we have learnt alot and very useful information perphaps we will find our way round now once again many thanks too all of you s tomlinson

Carvajal is IN Fuengirola, starting bang on the boundary with Benalmadena. The actual resort of Benalmadena is miles away, and would take at least two hours to walk to. Walking from the furthest point of Carvajal (directly in front of the Esso garage, where Fuengirola and Benalmadena meet) to Fuengirola Marina took this half-fit holidaymaker less than an hour.
