ALthough this is joined on to Torremolinos, it has retained its village identity. A few shops. Good restaurants/tapas bars and a wonderful paseo maritimo.

nothing to dislike all staff very helpful pity it is not quite finished but that does not detract from HOTEL

It was fantastic and the Spanish are so nice and friendly I liked everything great for people with kids of all ages

By day try the fabulous well-kept beaches & beach bars (Chingaritos). Nice place for a stroll along the very flat promanade (Passeo de maritimo) At night lots of great bars & restaurants - excellent atmosphere. Take a stroll by the sea....fab!

A lovely, clean, promenade between Torremolinos and Benalmadena with a good range of restaurants and shops. You'll find pretty much anything you want down here.
