Torremolinos, a popular tourist destination on the Costa del Sol, has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Once a seaside suburb of Malaga, Torremolinos gained independence in 1988 and has since become a main attraction for visitors seeking sun, sea, and relaxation.

The name Torremolinos originates from the numerous windmills in the area and an old watchtower, giving rise to the name ”Los Molinos de la Torre.” The town’s modern history began with Sir George Lagworthy, who settled in Torremolinos in the late 19th century and transformed the Santa Clara Castle into a hotel-residence, laying the foundation for tourism in the region.

With seven kilometers of coastline, Torremolinos boasts beautiful beaches such as El Lido, El Bajondillo, El Saltillo, and La Carihuela, famous for its ”pescaito frito” (fried fish) preparation. The town’s vibrant atmosphere, rich history, and stunning beaches make it a must-visit destination on the sunny coast of Spain.
