La Carihuela, Torremolinos

La Carihuela is the part of Torremolinos most owners actually want to talk about — the original fishing-village quarter on the western end of the bay, with low-rise property stock, a long line of chiringuitos along the seafront, and a more local-feeling rhythm than the bigger central beaches. As a short-let market it punches above the wider Torremolinos average per night, particularly for sea-view apartments. The repositioning of Torremolinos generally over the last few years has lifted Carihuela first.
