GREAT EXPERIENCE
Pedestrianised area in Torremolinos with many many bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, etc etc, plus it's quite close to the wonderful beach. Lots of bustling activity and people going here and there. A great experience and one not to miss.

I toured around a lot on the Coste. I would especially recommend Ronda. Very impressive.
The bus service is very cheap and convenient. I stayed in Torremolinos and travelled to Benalmadena, Antiquaire, Ronda, Malaga and Marbella. Torremolinos has a great shoreline where you can walk for miles. There are lovely little cafes and shops all along. I loved walking around the town, in and out of little streets with some very attractive buildings.

Plenty of shops and restaurants
Walk through the pedestrian zone of St. Miguel to reach the Plaza Costa del Sol. It is a nice place for a stroll by the many shops and to stop in and have some lunch in one of the many restaurant along the way. The railway station is also close by.

Hopping place end of September

Sep 2018 • Couples

We were there in the San Miguel feast days. This plaza had a live band and a tent with food like Calamares pinchos or chicken on a stick. Paella type rice and if course wine and beer. Not normally this busy. Walk to the end of the busy Calle San Miguel. Nice little plaza.

Much safer now its pedestrianised

Jul 2018 • Couples

Nice to not have to struggle crossing this busy main road anymore we have been back a week and it still isn't completed but at least its all fenced off and you can walk about freely. The bars and café have now moved onto road which is being turned into a plaza it can get noisy but I am sure it will be a vast improvement.

The Centre of Torremolinos!

Torremolinos, Spain18 contributions

Apr 2016 • Family

This location gives direct access to other features such as the Calle San Miguel. It has recently been given a pedestrian re-vamp and is now very family-friendly. There is a full-sized roundabout for the younger children to enjoy and the Roads have recently been made the centre of an open-air art exhibition by sculptress Elena Lavaron. This artistic theme is due to be extended after this exhibition is finished. The Plaza features all local banking facilities and a plethora of great cafes and restaurants. It is easily reached by train, bus and taxi with the train station a short walk away and the bus station providing access from Malaga and Fuengirola some 150 m away. The taxi rank is immediately adjacent to the Plaza.

Nice place for a sit

Mar 2016 • Couples

Set around a local infants schools and the beach. The edges are filled with restaurants of every type and differing nationalities. There are a few shops selling the usual souvenirs. A nice place to sit day or night and people watch over a glass of your favourite tipple

Spectacular Open Air Sculpture Display

Jan 2016 • Solo

Admire the grandeur and magnificence of the 12 wonderful sculptures tastefully placed in the newly pedestrianised Plaza Costa del Sol. Created by Elena Laveron, whose works can be seen and enjoyed in several world wide public places such as the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris and museums across the globe, these pieces are here from 23rd January to April 30th 2016. The casual visitor will be pleasantly surprised as they amble between these works of art and may indeed stop at nearby cafes to relax and further appreciate the skill of the artist and her sculptural collection. All ages are enjoying the exhibition and also a rare treat for kids of all ages is riding on the horses on the carousel at the end of the show. All in all, a treat on a sunny Spring afternoon.

Traffic and lots of people.

Sep 2014 • Couples

The Plaza del Sol or more commonly called Sun Square is placed in a busy square in the upper part of the town of Torremolinos, located right next to Calle San Miguel, apparently there is not much to see here just to make it a square with a high traffic you will have the 'opportunity to walk only on sidewalks on both sides or cross to head in the direction of Calle Europa to visit the highest part of Torremolinos.

Where is the plaza

Torremolinos, Spain18 contributions

Hi, Plaza Costa Del Sol is the main road between the Bus station (Calle Ramal Hoya) and Av Palma de Mallorca - which is the road leading from Torremolinos centre to Benalmadena. The road has been pedestrianised now, but was formerly a dual carriageway section of road. If you wish to approach it from the railway station in Plaza La Nogalera, you turn right as you leave the steps from the railway station and follow the nearest street facing you for some 50 metres and at the end is the Plaza Costa Del Sol. The guy above who says that they refer to Plaza de La Nogalera as the Plaza Costa Del Sol is incorrect (I should know, I live about 400 metres from there!).

is there a train that takes you round torremlious then brings you back where you started

In the four years we have been visiting Torremolinos in the Spring we have never seen a promenade train. There is a Hop on and Off bus which starts in Belemedena, but I have no idea where it goes to. If you want to visit the other resorts the local train is very good and cheap. The promenade is quite long from the golf course to Belemedena and is very popular with cyclists if that is any help. We rented bikes from a kiosk at the Belemedena Marina which was cheap and they were very helpful.
