Well established with credentials that stretch right back to the 60’s and &0’s Torremolinos is one of the best known resorts across the Spanish Costa del Sol, although not quite as lively as in its peak the resort remains popular and fiercely guards its reputation as the gay capital of the region; there is no division here though, and families searching for that sun sea and sand holiday are welcomed with open arms.
It may not be the prettiest resort with the high rises of that early boom still dominating the skyline, but Torremolinos more than makes up for this lack of charm with fantastic beaches and a traffic free esplanade in the traditional La Carihuela district, this is where the locals head to unwind, ignoring the English bars and crowded beaches of the main resort. Always warm, always welcoming, Torremolinos has far more than you expect, and richly rewards those that look beyond the obvious.
