Torremolinos
Torremolinos was the original coastal village where the Spanish tourist boom all began, what was once a tiny fishing village has now become one of the largest and most popular tourist destinations on the Costa del Sol. With such a large and varied choice of hotels, bars, discos and long golden beaches, good old ‘Torrie’ is quite simply hard to beat. Visitors to Torremolinos can and do enjoy every type of entertainment one would expect from a long established tourist resort. There are bars in abundance proclaiming their heritage to one nationality or another; Irish, English, Dutch, German you name it Torremolinos is likely to have it. The busy nightclubs, music bars and cabaret clubs offer a good range of different entertainment, make no mistake Torremolinos may be the oldest resort but it still offers a little bit of something for everyone no matter what age group.
Mijas
At first sight Mijas is the Andaluz pueblo blanco par excellence – its ancient white-washed houses clinging to the hillside surrounded by some of the best coastal views in Spain. In fact its beauty- and easy access from the coast- has made it a ‘mini resort’ in its own right with some 90% of the population now of foreign origin. Keep looking and you may just catch a glimpse of a hand glider wafting over the peak. Mijas is also well positioned for some of the area’s championship golf courses-including Los Lagos and Los Olivos- and the panoramic views really are superb!
Benalmadena
The coastal region is where most of the facilities for sun and sand tourism are concentrated: hotels, a casino, golf courses. Benalmadena has 9km of shoreline with beautiful beaches and tiny coves. The new Puerto Marina is the place to go for young “party goers”. Popular with locals and tourists alike the place has a distinctly international feel to it. The area is crammed with a variety of nightclubs and bars playing the latest music and staying open until sunrise. The marina is surrounded by apartments and offers sports such as diving and sailing. Just to the west of Malaga and Torremolinos.
Arroyo de la Miel
Arroyo de la Miel, which translated means “river of honey” is a popular pueblo located between the mountains and the coast and adjacent to the holiday resort and coastal town of Benalmadena. Arroyo de la Miel has a large population of local and multi national residents that live and work in the area which is further boosted by the ever present tourist sector, Arroyo offers a wide range of attractions including a sports complex, bilingual library and the world famous theme park Tivoli World. It is also where one can catch a cable car to the top of the mountain peaks which has breath taking views of the coastline. Arroyo offers a wide selection of café bars, restaurants, supermarkets, banks and a health clinic. Arroyo de la Miel is only 15 minutes by train from Malaga International Airport or a 10 minute journey by taxi.
Fuengirola
The holiday resort and coastal town of Fuengirola has come a long way from its days as a simple Spanish fishing village. Todays modern Fuengirola truly is a multi national mix of local Spanish and international residents that have made their permanent home in the various urbanizations and housing complexes on the outskirts of town. With being ideally located mid way between the capital city of Malaga and the famous town of Marbella, Fuengirola enjoys not just a busy summer tourist season but also benefits from an above average winter tourist season. Fuengirola’s amazing beach is overlooked by one of the longest promenades in the Mediterranean and takes just a little over 2hrs to walk from one end to the other. Fuengirola is a great place to live and own a business.
