Your Guide to Torremolinos
This is a classic holiday resort that actually started the "invasion" of northern Europeans in the early 70s. From being a small fishing village belonging to the municipality of MƔlaga in the 1950s, the small village was transformed in the 1960s and 70s into one of the main tourist destinations in Spain and the largest in Andalusia.
Since 1988, Torremolinos has been its own municipality and after a few wild years, the city is today a slightly calmer, but still just as beloved holiday paradise.
