A top resort on Spain's "sun coast" and a favoured destination of huge volumes of visitors for many years, holidays to Torremolinos have not dwindled in the popularity stakes at all. A fun place with a constant festive feel, the resort has enormous potential for great holiday memories on Spain's Costa del Sol..
Possibly one of Europe's most famous destinations and a top favourite for holidays in Costa del Sol, Torremolinos Spain is an old pro in the provision of entertainment, great accommodation options, sights and, naturally, an abundance of warm sunshine. The beach stretches as if forever and offers all the usual suspects in terms of water based activiites. You can lounge and languish here all day, windsurf to your heart's desire or drag yourself to one of the local "chiringuitos" (beach bars) for a refreshing San Miguel and a delicious lunchtime tortilla or chargrilled sardines.
Alternatively, walk the promenade which borders the shore and wends its way all the way into the commercial heart of the town.Take the elevator all the way up to Calle San Miguel and shop till you drop. The street (and many side streets leading off) has brilliant shoe shops, liquor stores, gift outlets and cafes, so is a great way to spend a few hours and possibly more than a few euro! Enjoy a round of golf too as there are at least 50 quality golf courses along the Costa.
If you're a seafood fan, make an effort to visit Carihuela, the old quarter of Torremolinos which is awash with local eateries specialising in the freshest of fish and shellfish. In addition, there are a couple of little tapas bars hidden in the maze of tangled streets where you can sip a Tio Pepe and nibble on some jamon Serrano and a hunk of Manchego cheese - pure bliss!
For family entertainment, a lovely Aquapark has a myriad waterslides, pools and kamikazi rides, enough to keep the kids occupied with watery pursuits for hours. One sure thing here is that you won't be bored. Torremolinos has non stop fun for families, couples and young visitors. Take a bus into Malaga city where Picasso's museum is a cultural highlight.The city's architecture is blindingly beautiful and well worth checking out.
Hire a car and venture inland to one of the picturesque villages that cling to the mountainside. Visit Mijas, a renowned "pueblo blanco", perched like a colourful postcard, all white streets and scarlet geranium -filled window boxes - like a chocolate box. You can glimpse two worlds and enjoy a touch of old and new - a perfect two centre holiday! All in all, Torremolinos Spain is a holiday experience to remember.
