Torremolinos Holidays: Package Deals from the UK Compared

Families get a lot from a week here. Sea Life Benalmádena is about two miles away and Selwo Marina, a marine park, roughly two and a half, both in neighbouring Arroyo de la Miel. With the airport so close, there is no long coach ride with tired children at either end of the holiday.

Couples and slower-paced travellers tend to enjoy the beach walks between Bajondillo and La Carihuela, the Jardín Botánico Molino de Inca a mile or so from the centre, and a visit to Bodegas Quitapenas winery. Golfers have the Parador de Málaga Golf Club around two and a half miles away, and anyone curious about the deep past can look up Bajondillo cave, where early human fossils were found, right in town.

Most holidays in Torremolinos are based in the town itself, a sizeable place of around 65,000 people with its beaches on the doorstep: Playa del Bajondillo in the centre and Playa de la Carihuela about half a mile along the shore. Playa de San Julián and Playa de Guadalmar lie further towards Málaga, three to four miles away.

Arroyo de la Miel, about two and a half miles away with a population of around 17,800, puts you closer to the family attractions: Sea Life Benalmádena, Selwo Marina and the Castillo de Bil Bil, with Playa de Malapesquera and the Benalmádena beaches nearby. It is eight minutes from the airport, so transfers stay short whichever base you choose.

The reliable stretch for holidays in Torremolinos, Spain runs from April to September. April is a particularly good spring choice, with highs of 22°C and only two rainy days on average. May and June warm up to 24°C and 27°C, and July and August peak at 31°C, with July averaging no rainy days at all.

September holds at 27°C, but October is the wettest month, with around 11 rainy days. November is a pleasant late option at 21°C and just three rainy days. From December to March daytime highs sit between 17°C and 20°C, which suits walking and sightseeing more than sunbathing, and March can be damp. School holidays push prices up across the summer, so booking early for July and August is sensible.

Málaga airport (AGP) has direct flights from the UK and is the natural gateway. The drive to Torremolinos takes about six minutes, and to Arroyo de la Miel about eight. That makes package transfers unusually quick, and it also means car hire is easy to pick up on arrival if you plan to explore. If you are curious about the journey itself, Málaga's Museum of Airports and Air Travel is around four miles from town.

Travelling by sea is possible too: Málaga's ferry port is about eight miles away.
