On this free tour in Torremolinos, we will travel back to the beginnings of tourism on the Costa del Sol. The tourism boom of the 1960s and 1970s transformed this picturesque fishing village into an iconic summer destination, both in Spain and internationally. Join us and discover how Torremolinos became the epicenter of tourism and fun!
If you want to visit the city in a panoramic way or have limited time, we recommend taking a Free Tour.
We are officially accredited guides approved by the Junta de Andalucía. We conduct tours in both Spanish and English.
This Free Tour does not include visits to exhibition halls. If you'd like to visit them, you can take our 60's Torremolinos Tour
Our journey begins at Plaza Costa del Sol, where we will delve into the fascinating history of Torremolinos and its transformation from a small fishing village into a benchmark for international tourism. From here, we will head to the emblematic Calle San Miguel, the commercial and social heart of the city.
We will continue to Plaza de la Independencia from the restaurant La Gamba Alegre to compare how that eclectic Torremolinos looked during its golden age.
Continuing this journey through time, we will reach Pasaje Begoña, a symbol of freedom and resistance, where a crucial event took place that forever transformed Torremolinos. Considered the “Spanish Stonewall,” this passage represents the fight for diversity and inclusion during a time of great change.
Our route will take us through La Nogalera, a key area in the history of leisure and culture in Torremolinos. As we walk through the center, we will discover the places that marked the musical boom of the 60s and 70s, where renowned bands sought their big break.
We will continue our path through Pueblo Blanco, an unusual oasis amid the municipality’s brutalist and art deco urbanism, a return to the “charming boutique hotel” concept reminiscent of the years before mass tourism.
We will walk to the Torre de Pimentel, the fortification that gave the city its name, and then immerse ourselves in the Andalusian essence of Pueblo Blanco, a charming corner that will transport us to another era.
Afterwards, we will move on to Cuesta del Tajo and the picturesque Calle Bajondillo, which will lead us to the Bajondillo Promenade, where we will recall the golden years of sun and beach tourism. Here, we will also visit the majestic Casa de los Navajas, an architectural gem of neo-Mudejar inspiration.

Our guide Charlie was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city. From the historic Roman Theatre to the charming streets of the old town, every stop was explained with fascinating detail and stories that really brought the history to life. I’d highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting Málaga. It’s the perfect way to get to know the city, its history, and its culture.Publicado en Han Kengen2025-09-17Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We had yesterday an excellent plus tour guide. His name is Charlie. He was actually outstanding!! His memory is so extremely good, we have never seen in our professional life being retired teachers in Tourism for more than 40 years. And we travel a lot. And make long voyages. Around the world. Mostly cruises. So we had a lot of guides but never as fantastic as this guy. Charlie you are the best ever in the whole world we say. Thank you very much for so many we have learned from you and seen during our walking tour in Malaga yesterday. My husband Johan and I, Thea, still talk about this wonderful and superb experience. Thank you so much. Han Kengen and Thea Kengen-Hamers The NetherlandsPublicado en Dori Rotermeller2025-08-29Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.
