7/1/2026 – Fuengirola City Council expands its citizen and tourist information channels with the implementation of a network of digital media in different public spaces in the city. These devices offer information of public interest, such as advice on safety, cleanliness or citizen coexistence, as well as local events of all kinds and promotional images of the municipality itself.

“The objective is to inform Fuengiroleños and visitors first-hand, in a direct and effective way, of everything that happens in our city, as well as to remember the basic rules of coexistence. But, in addition, this system is capable of offering real-time information on relevant matters, such as weather warnings or any type of incident that may occur at any time. Likewise, it is a great way to promote the benefits of our destination to visitors and for Fuengiroleños to appreciate Let us feel proud of our town seeing what we have built together. In short, putting at the service of the people of Fuengirola a first-class tourism tool, such as this digital network,” explained the Councilor for Tourism, José Luis Ponce.
