Torremolinos lies on the Costa del Sol, along the western edge of Málaga’s bay, with the Sierra de Mijas rising behind it. The town sits about 49 meters above sea level and is roughly 13 kilometers from Málaga city center, the provincial capital.

Back in the 1950s, it was just a quiet fishing village. However, it quickly grew into one of Spain’s leading sun-and-beach tourist destinations—becoming the first major hotspot of its kind in Andalucía and along the Costa del Sol. During the 1960s and 1970s, an influx of international visitors, including intellectuals, artists, bohemians, aristocrats, and celebrities, helped shape a relaxed, open-minded, and cosmopolitan vibe that set it apart from other nearby resorts.

Today, Torremolinos is especially known for its lively nightlife. It is also widely recognized as an LGBTQ+-friendly destination, with a welcoming and uninhibited atmosphere.

Benalmádena is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Costa del Sol, attracting visitors with its wide range of leisure, entertainment and family-friendly attractions. The municipality is home to amusement parks, a casino, the Benalmádena Cable Car, aquarium attractions and Benalmádena Marina, one of the largest and most recognisable marinas in Andalucía. With its combination of coastal scenery, entertainment and holiday facilities, Benalmádena offers plenty of things to see and do for visitors of all ages.

The growth of Benalmádena tourism began during the 1950s, when mass tourism started transforming Spain’s Mediterranean coastline. As increasing numbers of holidaymakers arrived, new hotels, restaurants, shops and other businesses were established to meet the growing demand. This period marked the beginning of Benalmádena’s transformation from a quieter coastal municipality into the popular holiday destination it is today.

The coastal district, known as Benalmádena Costa, is particularly popular with tourists and is home to a wide selection of hotels, holiday accommodation, restaurants and entertainment venues. It is also where you’ll find the famous Benalmádena Marina, a major attraction known for its waterfront setting and lively atmosphere.

A broad Benalmádena promenade runs along the coast, connecting different parts of the municipality and providing an enjoyable route for walking, cycling and taking in views of the Mediterranean. With its beaches, marina, restaurants, attractions and lively holiday atmosphere, Benalmádena Costa is an excellent base for exploring the Costa del Sol.
