Sean Woolley, Managing Director of Cloud Nine Spain, takes Alfredo Bloy-Dawson on a drive-through tour of Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol. Alfredo grew up in Torremolinos from the age of four and shares first-hand knowledge of every neighbourhood, its history, and what the property market looks like today.
They cover La Carihuela, the Montemar strip, the town centre, Playamar, Los Alamos, and the upper residential areas — including honest takes on where to buy, where to avoid, and why Torremolinos deserves more credit than it typically gets.
Topics covered:
– The history of Torremolinos from the 1950s to today
– La Carihuela: the fishing village turned beachfront neighbourhood
– Pez Espada hotel: the first luxury hotel on the Costa del Sol (1959)
– The Montemar disco strip and what remains of it
– Calle San Miguel and the town centre
– Playamar: the high-rise residential towers and current prices
– Los Alamos: the beach club and nightlife strip
– New developments: Kronos One Oak and the Magna project
– Schools: Sunny View School and the British school options
– The train line connecting Torremolinos to Malaga airport and Fuengirola
– Property prices: what you can expect across different areas
– Why Torremolinos has a stronger reputation with Spanish buyers than British ones
