    Kevin, many thanks for the tour of Torremolinos. Brought back many memories as my wife's brother lived there. They have both passed away, and I couldn't bring myself to return since. But seeing your video now makes me want to go back to remember the good times. So I think I'll book a visit in the autumn. I like your style of presentation. And wasn't that nice that a couple of your viewers said hello?! Have subscribed. Vivian

    I really enjoyed torromolinos, quite a few times I got the bus from marbella bus station. The la concha mountain is a great climb with stunning views too in marbella.

    Didn't go for years, mainly because my wife thought it was for pensioners. Spotted a decent deal in Feb into March, loved it. Its like the rest of Spain used to be and you can still have a haggle in the shops which I enjoy.

    Just subscribed! Happened to find your channel as I was researching southern Spain. We have booked a place for next March in Costa Blanca…most people we know go to Costa del Sol but we were drawn to Alicante after watching a few youtube videos. Right now I am going to watch your videos on Costa Blanco. Thanks for all the great information!

    @trishloughman5998 7 месяцев назад

    The lift to/from the beach level is effectively behind that Mulligan's Irish pub. If you go down the streets either side of it, ahead of you will be the lift. 50c charge. Excellent place for food and cocktails called Buddha bar beside it.

    Me and a buddy went by interailing in 1981 for a month in Torremolinos.
    Oboy have it changed. Seen lots of videos from torremolinos.
    And only thing i recognized was the area around the train station.
    Guess that a lot changed since 42 years ago.
    Great videos. Greetings from a Swede !!

    I just checked Hotel Torremolinos Centro for a booking starting October 30 and it was £50/night. That is a typical off season price for three star. Every hotel puts up its prices during a busy week so maybe that was it.

    Really great content mate. My wife and I fancied changing it up a bit but not straying from the tried and tested gems that are the Spanish costas. We were leaning towards Torremolinos or Benalmadena and thanks to your videos we've narrowed it down to having an argument over which of the two 😂👌

    These next couple of weeks will be expensive wherever you stay. The weekend just past was the beginning of the Spanish holidaymaker influx, this next four weeks will be extremely busy (with prices to match). Malaga, which is close by, have their Ferias (fairs), one in town the other on the outskirts at the main fairground. Enjoy your stay wherever you might end up, Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Fuengirola are great places to holiday. Hope to see you around.

    That's the market rate.....there's a lot of demand and don't forget that a lot of these smaller family based hotels were almost ruined during the lockdown. Many went under or had to sell out to the big chains. They're just trying to get something back. It'll return to normal I reckon next near......
