Torremolinos has had a good scrub and brush up over the past few years
with extensive landscaping, the pedestrianisation of several streets and
a general tarting up of the 7km long promenade. New construction within
Torremolinos has to adhere to far stricter controls and there are fewer
brat pack Brits who holiday here.
The name Torremolinos comes from 'Molinos de la Torre' (the mills of the
tower) and the ancient mill is still here, standing like some Disney-inspired
folly at the base of the souvenir strip of Calle San Miguel. Torremolinos
evolved as a thriving centre for fishing, primarily centred around La
Carihuela, an area south-west of the town centre, where a few bona fida
fishermen still work and the best seafood restaurants can be found.
A brand new auditorium means that the level of culture in Torremolinos
is no longer reduced to canned flamenco and karaoke bars, while the adjacent
Congress Centre is attracting a new breed of business to 'Torrie' with
year-round trade shows and exhibitions.
As well as an extremely popular Aqua park and a vast range of sea sports,
Torremolinos has several golf courses within easy reach, including the
18-hole Parador de Golf and Golf Torrequebrada.
There is also a well-established international school Sunny View accepting
children from 2-18 years.
