Most tourists come to the Costa del Sol to enjoy the beaches and the weather and they won't be disappointed by Torremolinos' beaches as they are clean and sandy and tend to be wider and longer than many others on the Costa del Sol which has also contributed to its popularity as a resort.
Playamar beach stretches to the east and the Carihuela beaches stretches to the west towards Benalmadena Costa and although they do tend to get busy during the peak holiday summer months of July and August there is always some space to be found for the sun worshippers to lie and soak up the sun.
For the more adventurous holiday maker there are numerous water sports and activities available all along the beaches such as windsurfing, para gliding and water-skiing. From the beach back to the town centre is a bit of a climb so it is a good idea to make use of the numerous beach club restaurants (chiringuitos) at lunch time and be sure to sample some of the local specialties of sardines done on the barbecue, paella and fried fish (pescaitos fritos).
Torremolinos, Costa del Sol, Andalucia, Spain
Torremolinos is a tourism-oriented city on the Costa del Sol of the Mediterranean, west of the city of Málaga, in the province of Málaga in the autonomous region of Andalusia in southern Spain.
In the beginning of the 1960's, Torremolinos was the first of the Costa del Sol to develop resorts and hotels. Close to all hotel accommodation you will find the nice beaches of Torremolinos, for example the beach of "el Bajondillo".
The beach area shows another side of Torremolinos. With massive hotels, apartment blocks, bars and restaurants, this area is packed during the summer. To the left, the " Playa de Bajondillo" gives way to the beaches of Playamar and Los Alamos. To the right, beyond the Castillo de Santa Clara, lie the beach areas of La Carihuela and Montemar.
The seafront promenade, Paseo Maritimo, extends east to Playamar and west to La Carihuela, now continuing as far as Benalmádena Marina. The walk to La Carihuela offers pleasant sea views and some dramatic rock formations, before entering the old fishing village of La Carihuela which is a delightful area of picturesque simple houses and bougainvillea clad patios where old men play dominoes and drink anis.
The water park in Torremolinos, Aquapark Torremolinos, about ten minutes walk north of Calle San Miguel near the Palacio de Congresos, is a typical family-fun water park with more than 30 rides, including the blood-curdling Kamikaze chute. The park is open from May until September.
