Torremolinos
A vibrant icon of the Costa del Sol
A cosmopolitan town with unmistakable character
Torremolinos boasts a classic Mediterranean climate — summers are hot, often above 30 °C, but a pleasant sea breeze cools the promenades and beaches, while winters remain mild, around 15 °C, with clear sunny skies. Thanks to the nearby Montes de Málaga mountains, refreshing mountain currents also soften the summer heat. The coastline is lined with long beaches such as La Carihuela and Bajondillo, a palm-lined promenade, and colorful houses that give Torremolinos its unique character.
An adventure for all the senses
Torremolinos is a place where you can enjoy authentic fish dishes as well as modern culinary creations. On the La Carihuela promenade, you’ll find restaurants specializing in espeto sardines roasted over open fire, or fresh seafood such as prawns and mussels. In the town center, tapas bars like El Gato Lounge and family-run restaurants serve paella marinera and local specialties such as ajoblanco — a chilled almond soup with grapes. Weekend markets, such as Mercadillo Torremolinos, offer fresh fruit, vegetables, olives, and fish from local farmers and fishermen — every visit is a small tasting of the region.
From beach volleyball to golf
Torremolinos is ideal for anyone who loves movement — golfers will appreciate nearby courses like Parador de Málaga Golf and Golf Torrequebrada, surrounded by pine forests and offering panoramic sea views. The beaches invite paddleboarding, windsurfing, and beach volleyball, while the promenade and bike paths are perfect for runners and cyclists. The nearby hills offer hiking and nordic walking trails overlooking the marina, La Carihuela, and the town, perfectly combining physical activity with mental relaxation.
Long beaches and the shade of pine forests
The beaches of Torremolinos are wide and sandy, with a gentle entrance into the sea, ideal for families and water sports. The promenade connects the town with picturesque coves and the harbor, where you can watch fishermen and sailboats at work. To the north stretch the Montes de Málaga hills, covered with pine and olive groves, with hiking trails offering panoramic views of the coastline and the city. Charming parks such as Parque La Batería bring shade and tranquillity to this lively town, creating a natural balance between urban life and greenery.
From fishing village to bustling town
The historic center of Torremolinos hides narrow streets, old churches, and squares that recall the town’s fishing past. Notable landmarks include the Church of San Miguel, with its characteristic white façade and local artwork, and Casa de los Navajas, a neomudéjar architectural gem overlooking the sea. Torremolinos also hosts cultural events and festivals — Carnaval Torremolinos, summer concerts, and exhibitions that blend traditional Andalusian charm with modern life. Archaeological finds near the harbor remind visitors that the area has been inhabited since ancient times, adding a historical depth you can explore with each walk.
