One of the Costa del Sol's most famous resorts. As well as boasting the most extensive range of hotels on the coast, Torremolinos has geared its infrastructure to attracting congress-related tourism. Proof of this is the Torremolinos Congress and Exhibition Centre, the first on the Costa del Sol.

Torremolinos' climate is exceptional all year round, making it the ideal place to enjoy long days on the beach and fun nights out to suit all tastes. The Romería de San Miguel open-air festival, at the end of September, is considered to be one of the best in Andalusia.

Torremolinos has thankfully long outgrown its Monty Python spam and chips image and, over recent years, has evolved as an attractive and appealing resort noted for its clean sandy beaches, wide choice of hotels and restaurants and unparalleled variety of entertainment, activities and nightlife available.

More than one thousand species of trees have been planted in the town, ranging from the exotic magnolia and banana tree to vibrantly colourful beds of roses and azaleas.

On the outskirts of the town there are three forests with freshwater springsand barbecue facilities and highly recommended for those seeking a little reprieve from the bucket and spade scenario on the coast.

At the same time, if it's family fun you want, Torremolinos is hard to beat with seasonal seasports including windsurfing, paragliding, water skiing and pedal boats. If this sounds all just too energetic however, then of course there is the sunlounger alternative or plenty of places where you can while away the hours sitting in picturesque surrounds, sipping a glass of sangria and simply watching the world go by.

The old La Carihuela fishermans quarter still exists. Many of the streets have been pedestrianised making a pleasant walk. Many of the original cottages still exist and not all have been turned into bars or shops. Some have stood still in time. Wander around the area early one morning before the tourists wake up and see a different world.
