About Torremolinos

Including tips for the best time to visit Torremolinos

The coastal town of Torremolinos is known for its top-notch nightlife and sun-soaked beaches, making it a summer holiday hotspot. Aside from the coastal charm, it also offers an abundance of historic sites which hark back to its former existence as a fishing village.

You can take a historical tour of Torremolinos by visiting some of its key monuments dotted around the city. Torre Pimentel, which gave the city its name, was originally called Torre de los Molinos (Tower of the Mills). It was built around 1300 as part of a network of defensive towers guarding the Iberian Peninsula’s southern coast. There’s also the Neo-Mudéjar-style mansion of Casa de los Navajas which was built in 1925 by a wealthy family. This architectural gem is free to enter and hosts various exhibitions and musical performances. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Parque de la Batería (Battery Park) serves as one of the green lungs of the city, but also the site of a historic fort with cannons and bunkers still visible today. Today, its most attractive features are an artificial boating lake and a Venetian-style carousel.

Once graced by Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner and other members of the Hollywood elite, La Carihuela Beach has long been one of the most popular beaches along the Costa del Sol. Its sprawling promenade, beach clubs and bars make it a great spot any time of day. You can also enjoy fresh fried fish at one of the many restaurants along the two kilometres of sandy beachfront.

We actually stayed just outside of Torremolinos which was great. The beach was clean and tidy, lots of places to eat and drink. Very relaxed atmosphere. Good mix of age groups. A meal for two with a couple of drinks ranged from €20 to €50 depending on what you wanted to eat, eating in the restaurants in the street behind the beach front tended to be cheaper but just as good! Plenty of little supermarkets -well stocked, as we were self catering.

Great selection of restaurants and bars. Not too commercialised. Lots of things to do like walking and visiting surrounding resorts. Good local transport, nice people, plenty of sunshine and beautiful beaches and seating areas. Very relaxing holiday.

Clarity is what is needed at this apartment. You will share the kitchen with 3 or 4 other people. The shower and toilet is also shared. In my opinion, it is only suitable for students on a tight budget, who don't mind the housekeeper telling them what is required of them. I have done a lot of travelling in my life including Europe, America and the far east. I don't need someone telling me what do. I will not be returning.

Torremolinos was a very central base to visiting places such as Malaga, Benemadena. Fungirola and Mijas….Public transport was very good. The Lift to and from the beach was also great and so inexpensive at 50c each way.

1 April 2024

Good choice of bars & restaurants. Friendly town. Trains always busy & not enough station staff to assist. Nice beaches and lovely promenade. The beachfront is on a lower level to the town area so be prepared for a walk up/down many steps, but there is a public lift available as an alternative option.
