Torremolinos

We have just returned from a weekend away in sunny, southern Spain. Most of the time when we travel, we like to get out and explore the local area and discover new things, but this weekend was about rest. Lori has been busy since her return in August and she just wanted to lay by a pool and read. We stayed in Torremolinos, which is on the Costa del Sol, west of Malaga. The beach and the town were beautiful and I recommend it to everyone.

The hotel was not great and I wouldn't recommend it, but it served it's purpose. We had the Mediterranean in front of us and the mountains behind us.

We did get out though. Every morning we would walk along the beach and every evening we would walk along the promenade.

The hotel was all-inclusive so the food was provided. It was OK, but it was geared towards the British tourists, which is fine, but not what I wanted to eat while in Spain. We went for a walk on the first night and I spotted a restaurant that was full of locals. I figured that had to be a good sign and it was. The seafood was so good and so fresh, we ended up eating lunch there everyday. The tuna steak was my favourite.
