General information on Torremolinos
Anyone who has been travelling to the Costa
del Sol for many years knows that Torremolinos
was the small fishing village that led the
tourist boom in the late fifties and sixties.
Now, it has become one of the biggest resorts
on the coast and is regarded as the South
coast’s equivilent of Benidorm so if
you are looking for a cultural experience
this is not the place for you.
If you like to party then Torremolinos
is definately the place for you!! There
are not many towns along the Costa del Sol
that have more bars, restaurants and nightclubs
(including a large gay community) and with
70% of its visitors coming from the UK there
is virtually no language barrier. Less than
10 minutes from Malaga Airport it is the
most accessible of the resorts along the
coast.
There are two main beaches to Torremolinos
that are both long and sandy and with the
many activities on the beaches including
para-gliding, water skiing and banana boats
plus plenty of beach bars and restaurants
to choose from there is always something
to do while you soak up the mediterranean
sun. if you fancy getting wet in a different
way you can try the aqua park on the outskirts
of town.
The heart of the town is the pedestrianised
area known as Calle San Miguel which is
packed with shops and boutiques selling
all kinds of products for all you shop-aholics
out there!!! At the height of the season
this area is packed with people and is a
hive of activity. During the summer, the
town hall hosts an unlimited number of events
including festivals of music, dance and
jazz as well as volleyball and football
competitions. The local council has invested
heavily in the area over the last few years
including a new seafront promenade which
stretches all the way to the neighbouring
resort of Benalmadena and more than a thousand
species of trees, shrubs and flowers have
been planted around the town in public gardens
providing a welcome reprieve from the surrounding
hustle and bustle of bar and beach life.
Torremolinos is not for the culture seekers,
but for beaches, nightclubs, bars, restaurants,
shops and a generally fun packed holiday
Torremolinos is one of the best spots on
the Costa del Sol.
