Torremolinos
 Torremolinos is the largest of the resorts of
the Costa del Sol and
probably the most famous, closely followed by Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Malaga. It has received
somewhat of a bad reputation, which has led local authorities to
improve the cleanliness of the beaches and make an effort to keep
the night life under control. During the tourist season, different
nationalities come together in Torremolinos for a
little "fun in the sun." During the day the 9 km of beach are packed
with bodies taking advantage of the summer sun. Temperatures often
hover around 30° and 40° C (from 85° to over 100° F). There are
plentiful beachfront cafés (called chiringuitos) selling
fried fish, snacks and soft drinks, which are as good as the ride
back from the main beach to the centre of town - uphill all the
way.
When the sun sets, the town is still full of life. Restaurants in Torremolinos provide almost all possible flavours, so you won't feel
like you're only trying typical Andalusian food. Bars in Torremolinos are in
abundance which claim their heritage from one nationality or
another: Irish, British, Dutch and German. Name it and Torremolinos probably has it. If you like fish we
stronlgy recommed you to visit La Carihuela, it has
the best concentration of fish restaurants in Costa del Sol. Crowded nightclubs pump out
the latest music and remain open until dawn, or even later. There's
no mistaking: Torremolinos is a place to have fun,
so if you're looking for calm and relaxation do it elsewhere!
After the peak of summer's high season, Torremolinos becomes a quiet place. The 'party
hearty' atmosphere decreases and travelers come to stay during the
calm winters. The beach promenade is packed with Spanish families
who go out for lunch and stroll the beach on Sunday. The mixture in Torremolinos of sun, fun and value for your money
has caused people to come back year after year.
Definitely worth seeing, Calle San Miguel is a beautiful
little street lined with small shops and cafés, and provides a
glimpse of what Torremolinos was in past years, a
small fishing village. There aren't many museums or national
monuments, but young people and families alike can enjoy the Torremolinos water
park, AquaPark. There is also a nearby riding school
that provides equipment, lessons and training, as well as pony rides
in the mountains.
Ah, and don't forget not to leave Torremolinos without visiting Fuengirola,it is only
20 minutes west and it has the longest promenade of Spain, full of
restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, etc.
