The Vibe
Step onto 36-5º's terrace and you immediately notice what's absent.
No children, generic cocktails, and the casual resort energy that dominates Costa del Sol rooftops.
This is deliberately adult space, designed for sophisticated evening sessions where the cocktails matter as much as the views.

The View & Seating

What you see:

- Stars emerging as evening progresses
Seating:
- Limited capacity ensuring intimate atmosphere

The limited seating is deliberate - creating exclusivity and ensuring everyone gets quality space and bartender attention.

Sunset from Sohail Castle Walls
Climb the ancient Moorish castle walls as the sun sets over the Mediterranean. The 10th-century fortress offers panoramic views of Fuengirola's coastline, and the golden hour light turns the stone walls amber.
“The castle closes at 6pm in winter, 8pm in summer. Stay nearby and time your visit for the hour before closing - you'll catch the best light with fewer visitors.”
Hotel Las Rampas - Only 10 minutes walk from Sohail Castle. Close enough to visit at sunset, far enough to enjoy peaceful beachfront location.
