Situated 12 kilometres from Malaga and forming a part of its bay with a coastline stretching almost 7 kilometres, Torremolinos is in the heart of the Costa del Sol. Due to its location between the Bay of Malaga and the Sierra de Mijas mountains, which protect it from northern winds, Torremolinos boasts an excellent climate, which is typically Mediterranean. This means pleasant temperatures year round, with an average daytime temperature in winter of 19ºC. Visitors can dive into the warm, transparent waters of the Mediterranean Sea at almost any time of year, here in Torremolinos, as well as enjoy the features of the beaches that run parallel to its recently opened beach promenade, the Paseo Marítimo.
