Hotel Carmen Teresa Torremolinos Av. Carlota Alessandri, 180 Online Booking

Everything you could wish for - a taste of the old Andalucian lifestyle - the peaceful fishermen, cottages, rocks and ocean and a little further along the modern day vibrancy you'd expect from one of the oldest and well established resorts of the Costa del Sol.

Gorgeous gardens and parks where you can stroll, relax and simply watch the world go by - filled with Magnolias, Banana trees, Roses, Azaleas and benches to sit. There are three forests close by with freshwater springs and picnic areas.

An abundance of sports on offer from walking, golf, gym, windsurfing, paragliding, water ski-ing and pedal boats or simply choose a beach - there are six close by altogether and soak up the sunshine, run your hands through the silky sand and splash in the ocean - reviving, refreshing and relaxing mind, body and soul.

Indulge in a little shopping - you'll find the pedestrianised area on Calle San Miguel strewn with attractive boutiques, lingerie, accessory and shoe shops as well as a host of gifts from Spanish guitars, handicrafts, crystal and ceramics.

The Marina forms the central point for promenading, watching the boats and drinking coffee with a wealth of restaurants and cafe bars for leisurely lunches or dinner time fests - enjoy.
