Once a small fishing
village, Torremolinos has been transformed into the Costa
del Sol's nightlife capital. Not for the fainthearted,
in the height of the season, Torremolinos comes alive,
especially in the area of
La Nogalera
with discos nightclubs bars and restaurants all vying
with each other to attract the young set. Torremolinos
could best be described as lively and not the sort of resort
for a tranquil holiday although it is popular with young and
old alike. There are miles of sandy beaches, apartment
blocks and hotels, all within eight kilometers of
Malaga airport. Torremolinos has gained a reputation
as a party resort but do a bit of exploring and there are
still typically Spanish areas with narrow streets and
tapas bars. Torremolinos is popular with holidaymakers
from all over Europe. Most of the bar and restaurant
staff can speak English. Rent a car for a day and within a
few hours, you can be far away from the hustle and bustle of
the resort, exploring the region's historic past. Back
from the promenade, is the main shopping area, the Calle San
Miguel. Self catering apartments are very
popular and can be rented for as little as £200 per week
providing you don't choose the height of the season.
Renting an apartment arranging your own flight and airport
transfer have been made extremely easy with the internet
boom. Self catering holidays are gradually
replacing the package tours as a cheaper alternative with.
the budget airlines having slashed the cost of getting to
the area.
Benelmadena
and Torremolinos are now joined by the long promenade the
Paseo Maritimo. This would make a pleasant evening
stroll if you have an hour or so to spare. Aqualand, just
ten minutes from the centre of Torremolinos will provide
hours of entertainment for the whole family. Provision
is made for younger children in the mini park and for the
more adventurous, you can try out the rapids, the black hole
and the boomerang. Well worth a day out.
