Torremolinos

Torremolinos is aimed at the big tourism and it has over 30 years experience. Yes, it´s said that Torremolinos is the beginning of the big tourism on the Costa del Sol at all. So you´ll see always the promotions and offers from the big tour operaters. The travel brochures offer in Torremolinos the most rooms on the Costa del Sol with a short way to the airport. The town centre is also adjusted to the tourists and so you can find a lot of little traders with leather goods and proprietary makes.

Torremolinos offers a large choice of international kitchen specialities. Especially to point out: the refreshing "gazpacho" (like a cold vegetable soup) and the "pescaíto frito" (fried tiny fish), for which Torremolinos is well-known. Last-mentioned is a special offer in the sailor´s area "La Carihuela".
Another advantage is the nearness of the airport(5min.), and also the existing of a congress centre for business meetings.
Additional Torremolinos offers periodical cultural organizations.

In the centre of the pedestrian area of Torremolinos are small yards and passages with shops. In the summer there are a lot of people walking here. But during the winter the town seems to be sleeping and a lot of shops are "for sale" to find a new investor for the next holiday season.

The town has renovated a lot and has built nice green areas, but you will miss a real high-standard tourism. Torremolinos tries to keep the town clean during the summer with the lots of tourists. And that is not easy.

The town itself will get the smallest part of the money from the tourists, because the hotels provide their guests very good. A travel to the Costa del Sol is low-priced but not cheap and quite a few tourists have to plan exactly what they can spend and what not. And so there are not much things which would increase the income of the town itself, because a lot of the tourists enjoy only the sun, beach and the dinner in the hotel. A further loss: Those who rent a car will leave the hotel early in the morning after they had have their coffee or tea to visit the different beautiful towns on the coast.

So we come to the festivities: The "Ferias" in honour of the patron saints of the town Torremolinos are worthwhile. Here you can make experience how the Spanish combinate belief, dance, singing and the spanish way of life itself.
Further you can visit the castle "Castillo del Inglés", in which in the twenties the veterans of the first world-war were living. Another attraction is the symbol "Torre del Homenaje".

For the beach-holiday you´ll find all in Torremolinos. The beaches are clean and in good condition. Here by the sea is everything what a tourist needs: A wonderful promenade and short ways to the hotel and 7kilometres of sandy beaches, clean and comfortable to be reached.

The european community has awarded Torremolinos often with the "Blue Flag" for the clean beaches and the clear water. In between also the security for the beach during the summer time was improved on the Costa del Sol, and so you´ll find ambulance and rescue service.

Another tip for "All-inclusive-travellers" who want to visit the coast and the inland with a hired car: Book the car and the travel together. The prices are special offers and you need no credit card for the payment direct "on-site". Check it, if you can bring back the hired car with an empty tank: Nearly always you pay a deposit, equivalent to the amount of a full tank and don´t get money back if you refill the tank.

Torremolinos offers sun, beach and the sea with low-priced hotels preferable with half-board. In the mornings and in the evenings you can enjoy the buffet and during the day you have perhaps only a bite. The food is quite enough in the hotels.
