Southern Spain's answer to Benidorm, Torremolinos is a vast
purpose-built resort situated 10 miles (16km) west of Malaga, on
the road to Marbella. Holidaymakers looking for a cultural
experience will be disappointed, as Torremolinos, particularly in
high season, is noisy and fast-paced 24 hours a day. With six miles
(10km) of wide, sandy beaches, lots of watersports, masses of bars
and restaurants and an exhausting nightlife, the resort attracts
tourists of all ages from all over Europe. There is a large gay
scene, but the resort is equally popular with families and the
inevitable 18 to 30 crowd.
