Torremolinos property and living

Torremolinos is an independent municipality since 1988 and is located in the Spanish province of Málaga in Andalusia on the Costa del Sol, 18 kilometres southwest of Málaga. The village has over 96,000 inhabitants with more than 130 nationalities. The name Torremolinos comes from ‘torre’ (tower) and ‘molinos’ (mills), because there used to be many (Arab) defensive towers and windmills in this area, one of which still exists. Torremolinos used to be a small fishing village. In the 50’s it has become the first major resort for mass tourism on the Costa del Sol. Torremolinos is adjacent to Málaga, Benalmádena and Churriana.
