Question

Has any1 been to torremelinos in spain?

Answer 1

Torremolinos is a tourism-oriented city and municipality on the Costa del Sol of the Mediterranean, immediately to the west of the city of Málaga, in the province of Málaga in the autonomous region of Andalusia in southern Spain. A poor fishing village before the growth in tourism beginning in the late 1950s, Torremolinos was the first of the Costa del Sol resorts to develop. It is very popular with British tourists and has a large British expatriate population. The town is dominated by high-rise development, considered ugly by some people.

The Belgian band Sttellla wrote a song about Torremolinos (simply called Torremolinos), which is their biggest hit to date.

Torremolinos is one of the settings in the novel The Drifters by James A. Michener.

Torremolinos had its heyday during the eighties and into the nineties, but especially over the last five years there has been a noticeable shortening of the "high" season, and a change in the demographic structure of who visits this town. It continues to have a thriving indigenous g*y population, and continues to attract the "pink" crowd, it also attracts families, but the young fun-loving 18-30 crowd are being replaced by an older crowd of "snowbirds" - pensioners travelling overseas, over winter for the sunshine.

Nowadays, with no straight nightclubs open in Torremolinos, the young crowd are simply moving further down the coast to Fuengirola, and Marbella.
