Joanne's Trip To Costa Del Sol Macro


I had a fantastic week in Torremolinos, Costa del Sol, where we stayed at the Occidental Torremolinos Playa Hotel. It was an incredible experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Location

I spent a delightful week in Torremolinos, specifically in the Los Alamos area, situated at the outskirts near Malaga city and airport. This tranquil neighborhood boasts a serene seafront with a handful of restaurants, providing a peaceful ambiance. With a convenient 15-20 minute stroll, I could reach Torremolinos Centre, and exploring nearby resorts like Benalmadena, Fuengirola, Marbella, and Puerto Banus was effortlessly accessible. The airport was just a short 10-minute drive from the hotel, and reaching the heart of Torremolinos took approximately 20 minutes by car.

What I Loved

I thoroughly enjoyed the convenience of short flying times and brief transfers during my trip. It made the journey seamless, allowing me to quickly reach my destination and maximize my time exploring and relaxing.
