Torremolinos

Torremolinos is perfect for anyone looking for a well-established expat community, beautiful beaches and easy access to the Costa del Sol’s major attractions.

Visit Torremolinos and you might expect to find packs of party people, forests of high rises and roast dinners any day of the week, and you wouldn’t be entirely wrong. But look a little closer and another side emerges, one where beaches are pristine, beautiful public parks are resplendent with magnolia and banana trees and there are even reminders of its former existence as a fishing village.

With its carefree, happy atmosphere Torremolinos appeals to visitors young and old, straight or gay, all brought here by the plentiful accommodation and infinite entertainments. But ask anyone who lives here all year round and they might point you in the direction of quieter residential areas like   El Calvario  with its fishermen’s’ cottages and unmissable seafood restaurants. Come with an open mind and look past the reputation and you’ll find a town that has survived the worst excesses of the tourist boom and emerged as something altogether more appealing.
