It is hard to imagine a better view of and along Cariheula Beach. The quiet and steady sound of the waves sooth you to sleep at night. It feels special to take an elevator from our quiet apartment down to the beach level and emerge from the base of the cliff onto the wide and popular beachwalk with its many cafes and shops. Equally, the centre of Torremolinos is an easy walk to the stores, bars and restaurants and special activities in the beautiful plazas. No need to take a taxi from the airport, the train ride from the airport station to the Torremolinos station costs about 2 euros (or less if you buy a 10 journey ticket) and takes about 15 minutes. Torremolinos station is right in the centre of town (under a plaza) and it’s about a 10 minute easy walk to your apartment building.
We appreciated the warm welcome and help from our hosts, and the small apartment is well-equipped, with its little kitchen, a clothes washer (a discreet clothes rack on the balcony), a shopping trolley cart to carry heavy items like water bottles etc. There is underground parking very conveniently located should you have a car. The wifi is very good and secure. And the balcony –well! We spent many afternoons there in the late sun enjoying the blue of the Mediterranean, the views of the beach and of the people out for fun or just a stroll. With our beer and wine, pate, bread, ham, cheese and tomatoes and oranges, we had a very fine time at a very reasonable cost enjoying a premium view. You can do the same at breakfast, maybe substituting coffee from the good coffeemaker for the beer and wine!
There is probably more to say. This was an excellent value and experience.
