Torremolinos beach: now and then

By DH Wall - Posted on November 27, 2008 at 3:22 pm

Today, Torremolinos, a resort town where the key attraction is the beach on Mediterranean Sea, is a prime travel destination on the Costa del Sol of Spain.

I don't know if the town has an official slogan, but if it doesn't, I have an idea for one.  It should be "Torremolinos:  We're all about the beach".  That's my suggestion because Torremolinos has kilometers and kilometers of resort-lined beachfront.  And for those moments where one needs a siesta from siesta-ing, Torremolinos has more restaurants and bars than can be imagined. 

Postcard: Costa Del Sol Donkey Taxis in Mijas

This Costa Del Sol postcard is part of my small collection of vintage Spain postcards. After scanning the postcard I did some color correction and other edits to make the color and details stand out more.

The postcard appears to be from the 1960s or 1970s and offers a glimpse into Costa Del Sol's past. The scene is from Mijas, an Andalucian Costa Del Sol pueblos blancos (white houses) village in Màlaga province.
