THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN TORREMOLINOS
Take a walk along the promenade which runs all the way along the seafront from Playamar to La Carihuela. The old town has a traditional Spanish feel, with winding streets and small shops selling everything from leather goods, traditional Spanish pottery, clothing and souvenirs.
For the more adventurous traveller, there are plenty water sport activities available all along the beaches including water skiing, windsurfing and even paragliding. There is also a huge aquapark with water slides, artificial waves and swimming pools sitting just 15 minutes away from the centre of Torremolinos.
There are two street markets every week. On Thursdays the outdoor market sells everything from fruit and veg to clothes, toys, shoes, jewellery. On Sundays the market sells second hand goods, antiques, collectors’ items, and handicrafts.

All along the promenade you'll find Andalucian restaurants offering fresh seafood cooked over an open fire, paella and rice dishes as well as traditional tapas and local wines.
