Temp in Torremolinos: Weather, Resorts and Getting There

Torremolinos is a sizeable coastal town of around 65,000 people on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia, built for beach holidays and close to everything. The town beach, Playa del Bajondillo, starts right in the centre, and Playa de la Carihuela is about half a mile on. Head a little further and you reach Playa de San Julián and Playa de Guadalmar, around 3 to 4 miles away towards Málaga.

There is more here than sand. The Bajondillo cave, right in town, has yielded early human fossils, and the Cerro del Villar archaeological site lies about 4 miles away. Closer in, the Jardín Botánico Molino de Inca is about a mile from the centre. Golfers have the Parador de Málaga Golf Club around 2.5 miles off, and aviation fans can find Málaga's Museum of Airports and Air Travel nearby. If you want to visit Torremolinos for more than a lounger, it rewards a little curiosity.

Most British travellers stay in Torremolinos itself, where the beaches, the cave and the botanical garden are all within easy reach. It suits anyone who wants to walk to the sea and keep the transfer from the airport to a few minutes.

Arroyo de la Miel, about 2.5 miles along the coast and home to some 18,000 people, is the alternative base. It puts families close to Sea Life Benalmádena and the Selwo Marina marine park, with the Castillo de Bil Bil and Playa de Malapesquera nearby. From Málaga airport it is roughly 8 minutes by road, so neither base costs you much holiday time.

The best months are April to September, plus November. Spring warms quickly: April averages 22°C with just two rain days, May reaches 24°C and June 27°C. July and August are the hottest, at 31°C by day and 22 to 23°C at night, with almost no rain. September eases back to 27°C.

October is the wettest month, with around 112mm across 11 rain days, so it is a gamble despite 24°C highs. November is often kinder, at 21°C with only three rain days. Winter stays mild at 17 to 18°C by day, though March can be damp. For a forecast closer to your dates, check a live service such as AccuWeather Torremolinos alongside these averages.

Málaga airport (AGP) has direct flights from the UK and is the obvious gateway. The drive to Torremolinos takes about 6 minutes and to Arroyo de la Miel about 8, so a package transfer is one of the shortest you will find. Car hire is easy to pick up at the airport if you plan day trips.

For travellers coming by sea, Málaga's ferry port is about 8 miles away, with Motril and Algeciras further off at roughly 55 and 60 miles.

A package holiday bundles your flight, hotel and airport transfer into one booking. With Málaga so close, that transfer is short. You choose the board basis that suits you, from room only to half board or all inclusive. Prices tend to rise during UK school holidays, so travelling outside them usually gives more choice.
