Car Hire Torremolinos - Mini guide to Torremolinos

Torremolinos is located between Malaga and Marbella on the Andalucian coast of the Mediterranean. The perfect weather together with the many beautiful beaches in the area makes the province well-liked by all visitors.

The climate aside, this is a fascinating area with a rich and unique history and the town has a great variety of busy restaurants, bars and bodegas.

La Carihuela is the original fisherman's district and just west of the town centre. Here you can sample some of the best seafood available in the entire region. There's a smart new promenade here which extends as far as the Puerto Deportivo in Benalmadena. Many of the streets have been pedestrianised making a pleasant walk and most of the original quaint provincial cottages still exist in this part of the town.

The town has numerous public gardens and more than one thousand species of trees have been planted, ranging from exotic magnolia and banana trees to vibrantly colourful beds of roses and azaleas.

The nightlife isn’t hard to find; often some hedonistic holidaymakers let their festivities begin just after siesta time in the afternoon. Bring on the sangria!

If this sounds too energetic however, then of course there is the sun-lounger alternative and La Carihuela and Bajondillo beaches hold European blue flags. Their promenades are also now linked together to make a pleasant walk around the headland.
