Little England in the Sun

Torremolinos is not ugly, it's only problem is it is a tourist trap where streets cater for tourists and in English run bars no Spanish is spoken.

If you do want to come here try coming at Easter time when there are less people and more Spanish visitors.

If you are scared about going abroad because of the language barrier then come here as English is spoken everywhere. If you don't like travelling abroad because you don't like foreign food then come here because English, Chinese, Indian, Danish and Finnish food are all available!! If you don't like travelling abroad because you can't watch the footie don't worry you'll have no problem here, that goes for finding your favourite pint too. If you want a beach resort type holiday then this is the place for you too.

If you are Spanish and don't have the money or time to visit Britain then come here to practice your English and sample some English food and drink with out even having to get on a plane or cross a border!

Cons:"Saturated to the limit by tourists"
In A Nutshell:"A True Resort holiday"

 Your comments on Torremolinos confirmed what I had suspected was the case there. My wife and I spent a couple of nights, but only as a base from which to explore out into the nearby mountain villages. Interesting tips from someone who should know!
