Culture
Torremolinos was the first resort in the Costa del Sol to be developed for the tourist industry back in the early sixties, so if you've come looking to sample authentic Spain, you'll want to head out of town. However, the city takes on an entirely different atmosphere outside of the summer season, with the entire resort seeming more authentically Spanish during the autumn and winter months.
Even in summer, if you look hard enough, you can still find authentic Spanish tapas bars and all sorts of bohemian bazaars and boutiques offering a wide variety of traditional Spanish food and merchandise.
Nightlife
If you like your nightlife buzzing, you've come to the right place! Torremolinos is famous for its wild, hedonistic party culture, with many bars and clubs closing their doors when the sun rises. Every type of music is well catered for with great clubs offering live sets from famous DJs until the early hours that are guaranteed to keep you dancing!
If a night out partying is not what you want from your holidays then you could head into Malaga for the evening or perhaps visit the quieter town of Fuengirola.
