Picture of one of the nice Beaches - Torremolinos

Great view of a wonderful Beach

Torremolinos is a beautiful resort town with 3 great beaches. Bajondillo ,Carihuela & Playamar.
Large number of tourist visit these beaches, so it is a very busy area.
At Carihuela beach are many fish restaurants The fish is called PESCAITO FRITO (or little fried fish)
The Beaches are nice and clean and not very busy at all in the winter time ,but I was told in the summer time the Beaches are very busy.

Torremolinos has great Fish Restaurants

Barbecued Fish

There are many displays on both side of the Boardwalk.
Fishing boats are plenty , also many benches to sit along the boardwalk.
Many beach restaurants are nicely decorated, and some will have a barbecue going and cook your fresh fish in front of your eyes.

The beautiful Esplenade or Promenade

Lori & Friend

Beautiful wide Esplenade, Promenade nice wide clean beach ,many restaurants with good food .
Everything was very nice and clean.
Here is Lori strolling along the nice Promenade ,and that tall guy in white ,he never said Boo or Bah ,he just stood there .
No the trick is to put some money in his basket and all of a sudden this fellow comes alive ,
Pretty Cool Dude .

Pros and Cons

Pros:The beaches are nice and clean Plenty restaurants
Cons:It is a vey busy place ,not for everybody.
In a nutshell:Nice and beautiful , but busy, busy, busy.
