	Fuengirola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fuengirola is a large town and municipality on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain in the province of Málaga and the autonomous community of Andalusia.
		The Battle of Fuengirola took place in the area during the Peninsular War, on October 15, 1810, when approximately 200 Polish soldiers of the Duchy of Warsaw defeated a mixed British-Spanish force numbering some 3,000 soldiers under Lord Blayney.
		In May 1841, Fuengirola was detached from Mijas; at the time its inhabitants were mainly engaged in fishing, agriculture and trading with ships that dropped anchor in the bay.

		According to the historian Alonso de Palencia Fuengirola suffered a fire in the Middle Ages that led to the inhabitants fleeing to Mijas.
		The modern name of the Fuengirola derives from the "girolas", craft that Genovese sailors based in this area used in fishing for small fish or "boliche", a word that also was also used in the name of the former detached township of Santa Fe de Los Boliches, now a part of the town.
		Since the 1960s Fuengirola has developed extensively and now offers all the facilities to be expected of a major tourist centre which includes hotels, restaurants, bars, discotheques, sports clubs, a yacht harbour, and broad beaches along a promenade extending east and west from the town, which includes smaller adjacent villages.

		After all it was the result of the King's surrender, together with Poniatowski's unwillingness to counter his moves more decisively, that the Prince this time was not chosen to lead (and did not support the efforts of those who sought his candidacy).
		Everywhere enthusiastically received by the Poles, Poniatowski was thus able to liberate large areas of Galicia (for a while as far as Lvov on May 27 and beyond) and by July (in a separate, masterful raid, intended to preempt the Russians, already after Austria was dealt by Napoleon the defeat at Wagram), Cracow.
		In one of his finest battles Poniatowski with his corps saved Murat from a complete rout, paying for it with the death of one of his most trusted generals and an embodiment of soldierly virtues, Chief of Staff of the Duchy army, Stanislaw Fiszer.
