Historia

Torremolinos was a small fishing and farming village with a 15th-century tower, the Torre de Pimentel. In the 1950s and 1960s, it became one of the first tourist resorts of the Costa del Sol, attracting artists, writers and international visitors.

Modern development turned it into a mass-tourism destination, with hotels and apartments along the coast.
