Torremolinos

Torremolinos beach Torremolinos is one of the most popular holiday destinations on the Costa del Sol.We provide a little more information on this busy resort with extensive tourist infrastructure.

Tourism in the Costa del Sol began in the 50's in this municipality which was then a small fishing village; like many other municipalities in the sun-drenched coast which are today among the most visited tourist destinations in the world. The influx of foreigners and tourists during the 60´s and 70´s created a liberal and permissive atmosphere that still distinguishes the city from other towns in the Costa del Sol.

Torremolinos is strategically located just 6 kilometers from Malaga International Airport, thus it is very easy to reach this coastal city. It is connected by the highway A-7, which bypasses the city to the north, and by suburban train.

What once was a fisher village today is a city with hotel and apartment buildings. During the summer months, its 9 km of wide beaches fill with national and international visitors looking for sun and fun.
