"Torremolinos - Popular Beach Village South Spain" Torremolinos by aussirose

Torremolinos Travel Guide: 432 reviews and 1,565 photos

Spain was hubby's choice of country for our big Europe trip. Hubby especially wanted to see the south of Spain and in particular La Alhambra as he studdied the gardens here as part of his Horticulture Garden Design course.

So, where to base ourselves? I chose Torremolinos as it is near Malaga where we flew into from Morocco and also because of the great recommendation from my vt friends that visit often - waalewiener, LoriPori and gillybob.



Hubby wanted to drive again in Spain and was looking forward to checking out the hilly countryside so what better way to do this than hire a convertible :o) Hubby was smitten! ...

And I must admit, I enjoyed it too :o)




Of course the first thing we did when we arrived at our Hotel in Torremolinos was to try the local brew.

San Miguel....not a bad drop :o)
