Why People Choose San Fulgencio & La Marina
Life here splits between the beach and the town. La Marina offers long morning walks on pristine sand, afternoons by the pool, and evenings at beachfront restaurants watching the sun set over the dunes. San Fulgencio provides Spanish authenticity—the Tuesday market bustling with local produce, tapas bars where Spanish mingles with English and German, a church square where village life continues as it has for generations.
The expat community is well-established—particularly British, German, and Scandinavian residents who discovered this area decades ago. Clubs, activities, and social groups abound. English is widely spoken in La Marina, while Spanish dominates in the town. Most residents appreciate having both options.
