If you're curious about the awfulness of the place, or attracted to the possibilities on offer, it's easy enough to
stay
. There are plenty of cheap
hostales
sandwiched between the high-rise horrors:
Pension Beatriz
, c/Peligro 4 (tel 952 385 110; €18-27), and
Hostal Micaela
, c/Bajondillo 4 (tel 952 383 310; €27-36), are both near the beach and fairly cheap. The resort's
campsite
(tel 952 382 602) lies 3km east of the centre on the main Malaga-Cadiz highway, 500m from the sea; get there by taking the
cercania
train to the Los Alamos stop or bus "Linea B" from the central Plaza Costa del Sol. The
turismo
in Plaza Pablo Picasso (Mon-Fri 9.30am-1.30pm; tel 952 379 512) and a branch in Plaza del Lido on the seafront (daily 10am-2pm & 5-8pm) can provide more information on what accommodation is available.
The sheer competition between Torremolinos's
restaurants, clubs
and
bars
is so intense that if you're prepared to walk round and check a few prices you can have a pretty good night out on remarkably little. The more elegant part of the resort lies to the east at
La Carihuela
, where there's a decent beach, good seafood restaurants along the seafront and, if you're staying, the pleasant
Hostal Flor Blanco
, Paseo de la Carihuela 41 (tel 952 382 071; €36-48). Other useful information
