The feel
Torremolinos is where mass tourism on the Costa del Sol began, and it still has the densest concentration of hotels, bars and beaches on the central coast. La Carihuela retains a fishing-village feel, Bajondillo has the long beach, and Calle San Miguel is the busy shopping spine. It is not for everyone, but for a low-maintenance apartment within walking distance of the sea and the airport, it is hard to beat.
Why consider it
- A true walkable resort with a train station
- La Carihuela’s chiringuitos and beach
- Some of the most accessible apartment prices on the coast
The property
The market is overwhelmingly apartments, with new-build and renovation along the seafront and in the centre. Sea views and proximity to the beach drive the price; the quieter streets are inland.
