Torremolinos Tourist / Tourism Torremolinos and tourism are inextricably linked. In fact it could be argued that Torremolinos started the tourist boom in Spain. In reality (as always) things are rather more complicated, but one thing is for sure, it is credited with being the countries first package tour holiday destination. It all started in the 50's and 60's, which saw a multitude of hotel complexes, restaurants and bars open. The town was transformed into a family resort; its visitors channelled through the ever expanding Malaga airport. Torremolinos soon became a household name around the world, and prospered accordingly. As the years passed the town became less fashionable and its image was tainted; gathering a reputation for being a party destination frequented by rowdy types. Consequently the resort received bad press which led to a decline in popularity, and eventually losing out to its neighbours Benalmadena and Fuengirola. However recent years have seen considerable improvement made to the town, with clean beaches and a re-modelled town centre with numerous public gardens. It is not just the look that is different these days, indeed the feel of the place is more natural/Spanish. This has as much to do with the expansion of Malaga as anything else. Torremolinos is now so close to the regions capital, that it is considered by many to be an extended suburb. Gone are the party going holiday makers; now days the majority of visitors to the beaches of Torremolinos are native Spaniards, or retired couples from all over Europe.
