Torremolinos is a product of the tourist boom of the 1960’s in which turned this small fishing village into a large, densely-populated town devoted wholly to sun and sand tourism, showcasing large beaches and lots of related facilities and services; it is also home to a Congress Center which has played host to important international conventions on various occasions.

The famous Pimentel Tower is the town’s most noteworthy monument and icon, although some traces of the past are still seen around the Bajondillo and La Carihuela districts.

The origins and name derive form a watchtower (torre) and the mills (molinos) built there to grind wheat, positioned perpendicularly to the ocean in order to harness the hydraulic power generated by the water flowing into it.

The coast was then subsequently fortified with castles and defensive towers. One of the most importants defensive constructions was St. Clare’s Castle which was built in the second half of the 18th century on the site of the old fort. The castle since then has disappeared, and in its place a hotel complex was built.

From the year 1813 onwards, it was an independent municipality, and it returned to the city of Malaga in 1924.

In the second half of the 20th century, a new stimulus came which changed the whole look of Torremolinos and the population’s economic activities and lifestyle, when the progressive development of tourism that had begun in the 1960s – created a transformation that turned the town into one of the world’s best-known holiday resorts.

On the 27th of September 1988, the Andalusian Regional Goernment, in response to the wishes of the town’s inhabitants, declared Torremolinos an independent municipality once again.
