The town

What Torremolinos is like.

Torremolinos was the first resort on the Costa del Sol and it has been welcoming people from the UK for sixty years. It is lively, easy and unpretentious: a town centre of pedestrian streets, a long beach below the cliff reached by lifts and steps, and La Carihuela at the western end, the old fishing quarter with the fish restaurants on the sand.

What makes it practical is the airport. Ten minutes by road or train means a weekend here is realistic, and a flat here is easy to let. Prices are lower than in Benalmádena or Fuengirola for a similar home, and the town has been smartening itself up for the last few years.

Where to look in Torremolinos

  • La Carihuela

    The old fishing quarter and its promenade: apartments by the beach and the restaurants, the most sought-after part of town.

  • The centre and Bajondillo

    Apartments in the pedestrian streets and on the cliff above Bajondillo beach, with the station close by.

  • Playamar and Los Álamos

    The eastern end: beachfront apartment blocks and the beach clubs, nearest the airport.

  • Montemar and El Pinar

    Residential streets of villas and low-rise apartments on the hill above La Carihuela.
