Torremolinos is one of the most popular resort towns in the Costa del Sol, located 15 minutes from Malaga airport and with easy access to the coastal highway it is an ideal base from which you can explore various other resorts such as Fuengirola and Benalmadena.

In the fledgeling days of the package holiday, Torremolinos grew from a charming fishing village into a thriving holiday resort. The town’s immediacy to Malaga, its seven kilometres of beach and its superb climate ensured it quickly became a favourite among northern Europeans; less than a three-hour flight away for most, Torremolinos offered tangible tropical-ness, almost year-round warmth and an intriguing peek into the Spanish way of life.

By the 1980s, Torremolinos was one of the liveliest resorts in Europe, but it soon fell out of favour with the average holidaymaker seeking fun in the sun. So the city set about re-inventing itself. First, the infrastructure was modernised, followed by bigger and better hotels and a greater choice of attractions. Soon, it became a popular gay resort and it has, and  adding family-friendly attractions, traditional charm and a wider choice of commercial and investment opportunities than before.

The resort’s La Carihuela district is built around the old fishing village and is a wonderfully charming part of the municipality. It is home to some of the best fish and seafood restaurants you are likely to find anywhere along the coast, and essentially acts as Torremolinos’ back garden, such is its idyllic nature. If you want something a little more substantial from your evenings, this place will not disappoint. La Carihuela has some great tapas bars, and there are salsa evenings, cinemas, theatres and all manner of social gatherings for the expat community to enjoy. Torremolinos has been around long enough to know how to keep all ages entertained at any hour of the day.
