Las Palomas Torremolinos Carmen Montes ,1

Whatever your favoured past-time there is something here for everyone. Shopping, sports, walking, events, festivals, celebrations, dance and entertainment. Be sure to indulge in the gastronomic delights and spend time with friends over a few tapas - alioli, bread, tortillas, olives, little fish dishes, meats and cheeses - all accompanied with the local wine.

The Marina is the main spot for meeting, promenading and simply sipping coffee and watching the world go by and the fishermens boats returning from sea. Be sure to soak up the atmosphere around the fishing cottages where the wise men play dominoes and sip Anis. This area has some of the best fish restaurants around so be sure to treat yourself at least once.

Sports on offer include Golf - with several courses close by, walking along the coastline and taking photographs of the dramatic rock formations and deep blue sea, there are a host of watersports - ski-ing, paragliding, windsurfing and the high impact energy sport of pedal boating!

Be sure to take the time to treat yourself in the pedestrianised shopping area on Calle San Miguel. There are a host of beautiful boutiques, glitzy jewellers, accessory, lingerie and shoe shops. For gifts be sure to choose the latest Lladro design or the beautiful crystal made by Swarovski.
