General Tips: LA CARIHUELA
|
Tip Rating:  |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Favorite Thing: This was originally an old fishing village and although it has developed into a very popular tourist resort area, LA CARIHUELA has retained much of it's original charm with typical white houses overlooking the sea.
The area stretches from "the rock" at Torremolinos through to the port of Benalmadena although that end is usually referred to as Montemar.

General Tips: BEACHES IN TORREMOLINOS
|
Tip Rating: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Favorite Thing: The Mediterranean gives Torremolinos its enviable climate. The winters are usually mild, but on this day it was quite cool and very windy as the photo shows.
Its beaches have been chosen by thousands of visitors, mainly European holidaymakers, escaping the colder northern parts. It has seven kilometres of fine, sandy beaches -- especially its two famous beaches -- Bajondillo and the Carihuela.

General Tips: TOURIST INFORMATION CENTER
|
Tip Rating:  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Favorite Thing: Torremolinos now boasts a new TOURIST INFORMATION CENTER. It is much bigger than the little kiosk that was there two years ago. The young lady was helpful when I asked about flea markets in the area and she gave me a list of all markets being held in the Costa del Sol. There were many brochures and leaflets showing what to do and see in the area. Also on hand were the different little newspapers put out for free. There's usually a couple of English ones like the "Sur" and Spanish ones.
Located right on the Playamar beach side on Paseo Maritimo and Avda del Lido.

General Tips: TORREMOLINOS " PICASSO"
|
Tip Rating: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Favorite Thing: Where once had been the familiar blue and white Torremolinos fishing boat, there is now the "PICASSO" reproduction of the 'two dancing ladies'. Though I do miss the boat, this really is a beautiful replacement. You can just feel the joy of the two ladies dancing on their pedestal. Located right near the Tourist Information Center in the Plaza De Lido ( Square of the Lido ).
We saw a young couple imitating the position of the arms and we offered to take thier picture together which they appreciated.

General Tips: CELL POINT - INTERNET
|
Tip Rating: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Favorite Thing: We found a new and better place to have internet access at CELL POINT. It was about a ten minute walk from our apartment. We used it a few times. It was always clean and smoking was not allowed which was very nice. It cost 2 Euros an hour - minimum 50 cents and you only paid for what you used.
They also offered scanner/fax, fotocopies, calling cards, phones for international calling.
Located on Avda. Beyamina 18 C, 29620 Torremolinos

Lori... La Paella sounds like a place we will want to go for lunch while at Bajondillo! Great location review. Jim | evaanna Thu Aug 13, 2009 17:05 UTC
Sounds as if you really enjoyed your visits to Torremolinos. Loved those laid-back towns you describe in your off-the-beaten path tips, so much less touristy. Your food descriptions have made my mouth water. Excellent page with lots of useful information. | BruceDunning Wed Jul 15, 2009 01:05 UTC
My first big overseas trip was to this area. Thanks for the memories and great comments/pictures | hopang Fri Apr 3, 2009 10:21 UTC
