Torremolinos has long outgrown its Monty Python Spam and chips image and over recent years it has evolved as an attractive known for its clean sandy beaches, choice of hotels and restaurants and variety of entertainment.

While it is hard to believe that forty years ago Torremolinos was a quiet village, still today the town reflects its heritage with several of the original fresh fish bars located right in the shopping centre, incongruously flanked by exclusive boutiques and gift shops.

Although the town has an overabundance of concrete high-rises, this is offset by the recent emergence of numerous public gardens. More than one thousand species of trees have been planted in the town, ranging from the exotic magnolia and banana tree to vibrantly colourful beds of roses and azaleas.

On the outskirts of the town there are three forests with freshwater springs and barbecue facilities and highly recommended for those seeking a little reprieve from the bucket and spade scenario on the coast.

At the same time, if it's family fun you want, Torremolinos is hard to beat with seasonal sea sports including windsurfing, paragliding, water skiing and pedal boats.
