Torremolinos.

What to do in Torremolinos Málaga Spain

Torremolinos divides between the clifftop pedestrian core around Calle San Miguel and the long beach strip of La Carihuela below. Days revolve around the shore: morning swims off Playa del Bajondillo, long lunches of grilled sole and fried boquerones at sand-floored chiringuitos, and evening strolls along the wide promenade. It suits travellers wanting straightforward seaside living, direct rail access, and classic Andalusian seafood.
