Exit Torremolinos
Although Torremolinos does have a long history, the town has developed more in
the last 40 years than in the last thousand.
Prehistoric human skulls have been found in the limestone caves that litter the
mountain behind the town. One of them known as the Tapada cave yielded evidence
of Bronze Age inhabitation in the shape of a Bell Beaker Burial of around
1500BC. Just to the north under the aeroplanes flightpath is the location of
Cerro de Villar which was the site of the island city in the Phonecian period.
Torremolinos first attracted the crowds in 1498 when the Catholic kings and
their vast number of troops camped here during the siege of Malaga. The original
name was "Molinos de la Torre" (the mills of the tower). In 1502, it came under
the rule of Malaga with the name of "Torres de Pimentel" (the towers of
Pimentel), in honour of Rodrigo Pimentel, Count of Benavente to whom most of the
lands were given in thanks for his generosit; providing horses and food during
the siege of Malaga.
The town evolved as a thriving centre for fishing, primarily centred around La
Carihuela; an area just east of town where a few bona fide fishermen still
remain, and some of the best seafood restaurants can be found.
Bars and restaurants opened by the dozen and visitors came from all over the
world and included well known writers and artists, as well as starlets,
aristocrats and seasoned travellers.
In the early sixties Torremolinos was little more than a sleepy village and
today the town still reflects its heritage with several of the original fresh
fish bars located right in the middle of the shopping centre, incongruously
flanked by exclusive boutiques and gift shops. In general, however, the wave of
tourists who descended on the town in the fifties and sixties changed the face
of Torremolinos for ever.
It has thankfully long outgrown its spam and chips image and, over recent years,
has evolved as an attractive and appealing resort noted for its clean sandy
beaches, wide choice of hotels and restaurants and unparalleled variety of
entertainment, activities and nightlife available. At the height of summer, the
resort has a great appeal for the younger set, with a reputation for its hectic
nightlife.
Out of season, however, it takes on a different character. Now practically a
suburb of Málaga, the atmosphere is much more Spanish, especially at weekends,
with an air of friendliness and welcome.
While some may feel that Torremolinos has an abundance of concrete highrises,
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 town, there are three forests with freshwater springs and
barbecue facilities; 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 seasports including
windsurfing, paragliding, water skiing and pedal boats.
If this sounds all just too energetic however, then of course there is the
sunlounger alternative or plenty of places where you can while away the hours
sitting in picturesque surroundings, sipping a glass of sangria and simply
watching the world go by.
The Costa del Sol is aptly named – the sun makes an appearance almost every day
and temperatures range from a mild 8ºC in the winter to a very pleasant 30ºC in
the summer, consequently outdoor activities play a huge part in our lives, from
the more energetic pursuits such as sailing, swimming and golf to the very
popular relaxing pastime of eating and drinking!
Enjoy a plethora of
sports facilities and a dynamic range of culinary delights available in the
wide selection of fantastic
restaurants and cafés in every town and city on the Costa del Sol!
Culture vultures are certainly not forgotten. The magnificent historical cities
of Sevilla, Granada, Córdoba and Jerez are only a pleasant day trip away. Who
could visit the Alhambra in Granada and not be impressed! Conversely, North
África is an hour’s boat ride across the strait from Algeciras – Morocco,
Tangier, Casablanca - names to fire the imagination.
Enjoy ‘Costa Living’ to the full! Experience the vast cultural heritage of
Andalucía: fairs, festivals, castles, cathedrals, equestrian shows, bull-fights,
fine wines, electrifying flamenco music and dance and much more…
