Ferrum — Restaurant in Fuengirola

Right. So. After a full day of flopping about on the beach like a happy seal, we decided we needed something properly good to eat. We wandered into Ferrum in Fuengirola, fully expecting to be turned away because it was only 30 minutes before closing.

The staff is extremely friendly and kind. I wish I could rate them higher as they truly...
