The resort has 68,000 inhabitants, but in the summer there are many tourists from all over the world to Torremolinos. It is therefore a lively place, especially in the summer, with discotheques and good nightlife. Especially in Los Álamos there are several discotheques and bars to find, where you can spend you night!
There is also a lot on offer in and around Torremolinos! Just outside Malaga is the large shopping mall Plaza Mayor, which is a combination of outlet store and open-air shopping mall. In addition, Malaga is easily accessible by car and train and is only 20 minutes away. In total Torremolinos itself counts no less than between 200 and 250 shops! These shops are mainly located in the old town and the districts Montemar and la Carihuela.
Torremolinos also has a market that is held every Thursday at El Calvario. This market mainly sells clothes, souvenirs, bags and shoes and it can be very busy especially in the summer, but it is definitely worth visiting this market!
The beach of Torremolinos is no less than 6 kilometers long with a promenade that extends to Benalmádena and is called Bajondillo. The center is about 75 meters away and can be reached by the famous Spanish steps. On the beach there are many chriringuitos (Spanish beach bars) where you can eat fresh fish and drink delicious cocktails. From the beach you can see the Sierra Nevada, the mountain with the ski area near Granada.
La Carihuela beach is the beach next to Bajondillo and is originally a small fishing village and is located about 1 kilometer from the center of Torremolinos.
The old and car-free center of Torremolinos is currently being renovated creating a wide boulevard with lots of green and shade. This creates a beautiful center, with nice terraces and a cozy character.
