Many new/used clothing, new/ used jewelry ( I bought some real cute pins for one Euro each ), antiques, used furniture, paintings/pictures, new/used books, new/used toys, fresh fruits and vegetables, and just a whole lot of real neat stuff. My favourite was the Fuengirola Flea Markets held on Saturdays. I also enjoyed the Malaga Sunday Market.

    VARIOUS SHOPS: CALLE SAN MIGUEL
  • Tip Rating:
  • Name of Shop: VARIOUS SHOPS

    Torremolinos centre itself offers shops selling everything imaginable with the most famous street being CALLE SAN MIGUEL. This runs from the main street down the hill towards the sea. It is lined with shops and bars and the lower end, becomes a narrow walkway with hundreds of steps to take you down the steep hillside to the beach at the bottom. You do need to be fairly fit to walk up this street and most people walk down and find an alternative way up. There is a lift availabe for those who are unable to make the climb.
    I walked up two or three times a week. I do take my time and check out all the little shops on the way up.

    ROMERO SANCHEZ: TORREMOLINOS SOUVENIRS ( REGALOS )
  • Tip Rating:
  • Torremolinos - San Miguel Shopping Area
  • San Miguel Shopping Area
  • by LoriPori
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Name of Shop: ROMERO SANCHEZ

    I just loved shopping and snooping on Calle San Miguel. So much variety . As I was looking for some souvenirs ( regalos ) to bring home to Canada, I stopped in this nice little shop ROMERO SANCHEZ which had a nice stock of souvenirs and reasonably priced too. I picked up a few small 'Olive' dishes. They were so cute. They were terra cotta and had a little pot to put the olive pits in and an even smaller pot to put toothpicks in. The only thing is I should have thought of how heavy they would be in my carry-on. Oh well, I just had Hansi carry it. HeHe!

    MERCADONA SUPERMERCADO: MY FAVOURITE GROCERY STORE
  • Tip Rating:
  • Name of Shop: MERCADONA SUPERMERCADO

    Just a ten minute walk from our apartment, MERCADONA SUPERMERCADO has everything you need and at good prices. Actually the prices didn't go up too much from our visit two years ago.
    Available: Baked goods, dairy products, canned goods, snacks, beverages (water, soda, beer, wine and liquor), very good fruit and vegetable section with most sold prepackaged, frozen foods, excellent selection of fresh fish, prepackaged meats, domestic and laundry products, paper products, etc.
    I usually went every couple of days, so as not to have to carry too much.
    Open 9:15 a.m. to 9:15 p.m.



    What To Pay: I found the prices comparable to what I pay here in Canada

    BAZAR CEYCE: SPANISH SOUVENIRS
  • Tip Rating:
  • Name of Shop: BAZAR CEYCE

    I love to snoop in souvenir shops in Torremolinos. CEYCE was a great little shop as I was looking for gifts to bring back home and I needed some post-cards for my scrapbook. They were selling here for the very reasonable price of .15 Eurocents, which is pretty good. They also had the usual pottery plates and mugs, colourful Spanish fans, Torremolinos T-shirts for children, etc. etc.

     Lori... La Paella sounds like a place we will want to go for lunch while at Bajondillo! Great location review. Jim

     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.

     My first big overseas trip was to this area. Thanks for the memories and great comments/pictures
