Torremolinos, a legendary destination for international tourism since the 1950s, offers travellers a modern seaside town that retains all the Andalusian charm of the old fishing and milling village it once was. A protagonist of the tourist boom of the 60s and 70s, this enclave seduces visitors with its sprawling beaches bathed in the blue of the Mediterranean, a warm climate all year round and exquisite gastronomy.
Torremolinos, lying next to Malaga, is a strategic point from which to visit the most attractive corners of Andalusia. Located in the south of Spain, this city of almost 70,000 inhabitants offers much more than just sun and beach. Torremolinos is culture, sport, hiking, gastronomy, fun and relaxation all in one. Above all, Torremolinos is an open, welcoming and friendly destination.
