Torremolinos

Nestled between Malaga and Fuengirola, Torremolinos, or “Torrie,” stands as a quintessential package-holiday destination on Spain’s Costa del Sol. Since the 1950s, it has been a pioneer in the region’s mass tourism, evolving from a once brash image to a more laid-back, budget-friendly appeal. The town is characterized by its high-rise hotels, vibrant nightlife, and sandy beaches, such as La Carihuela and El Bajondillo. Visitors today can also explore the old town, adorned with murals and Picasso-themed mosaics, savor fresh seafood, and enjoy a welcoming, LGBTQ+-friendly atmosphere.
