Area

Getting around Torremolinos and Malaga is a pretty easy exercise given both their sizes. Local Taxis are relatively cheap and by example is about EUR 20 to the airport. (about EUR 25 from the airport because of the pick-up charge). Buses can connect you to both Benalmadena/Mijas and Malaga. Further the local train, runs every 20 minutes, and connects Malaga to Fuengirola. The Torremolinos station is located in the Nogalera Square (Plaza De Nogalera) in the centre of town.

Of course, the best way to enjoy and discover Torremolinos town and its stunning beaches is by foot. Whether wandering around the Calvario (old town), with its collection of local quirky bars and restaurants or the vibrant centre of Torremolinos, you are bound to discover your own hidden gems.

Torremolinos boasts miles of golden beaches all with their own Chiringuitos (beach bars). There are several different steps down to the beach, and elevators available. The old steps, lined with small souvenir shops and bars, is situated at the end of the Calle San Miguel, and is a more leisurely walk down. The more direct steps are at the end of the Danza Invisible (by the Noglaera) and lead straight to the Bajandillo Beach. There is also a lift located here, but you have to use about 10 steps to access it. For complete step-free beach access, head to the Calle Casablanca beside the Cervantes Hotel, for direct lift access.

When on the beach, make sure to do the beach walk, (after all it is on the flat), from Los Alamos, through Bajondillo and on to Carihuela. Each of the Torremolinos beaches, has its own personality, offering quiet and easy going chiringuitos, to both gay and straight trendy beach clubs.

Bar Los Valles

Possibly one of our daytime favorites, and also great for dinner. This very unassuming bar/restaurant is a real hidden gem. Very (modern) Spanish in its style, it is comfortable and welcoming. The big surprise is the quality of the food, both from the menu or the tapas. It is also extraordinarily good value. Even just call in for a drink, and sit at the high tables and watch the world go by.

Favourites dishes. Half a pig. Prawns. Steak on the sizzler. (you have got to try the patatas con queso y jamon, (Cheesy Chips ).

Address: Avenida Joan Miro 14. (Start of the Calvario, Old Town)

Bar La Bodega

Situated of the Calle San Miguel, this traditional Bodega specializes in seafood. It is very well priced, and the portions are more in the Tapas style and designed for sharing. Great for lunch or dinner, but gets busy at night, so best to book.

Opens late into the following morning.

Once again, very well priced, but popular so strongly recommend booking.
