Torremolinos – a city full of fun
In the south of Spain, between the sun-drenched beaches of the Costa del Sol and the city of Málaga, lies Torremolinos – a city that has been attracting visitors for decades with its unique atmosphere. Originally a fishing village and now a modern town, it has retained its authentic Andalusian charm despite its development. It is a place where local culture blends with cosmopolitan spirit and where there is something for everyone, from quiet walks under the palm trees to evenings of music and dancing. The city not only offers nightlife and water sports, but also places of interest such as Aqualand, the Crocodile Park and the authentic La Carihuela district with its delicious Spanish cuisine.
