Torremolinos in Costa del Sol has come a long way from the small Spanish fishing village it once was. To get the real flavour of Torremolinos, take a stroll along the Calle San Miguel. These days, the original and largest holiday resort on the Costa del Sol attracts thousands of holidaymakers each year, mainly British who come in search of the hot Spanish sun, beaches, booze and nightlife. They are not disappointed –Torremolinos is full of bars, restaurants, discos, shops and apartment blocks and during the summer months the streets never seem to be empty. However, Torremolinos has a lot of warmth and character and is certainly worthy of a visit on your holiday, if only to enjoy her paseos, tree line avenues, small plazas and narrow streets of whitewashed villas which are very attractive indeed.
