Torremolinos was considered to be the liberal, hedonistic escape in Spain during the Franco era and it was here that Spain’s first ever gay bar opened back in 1962. When it comes to gay Torremolinos, it has a very long and interesting gay history. It’s been an incredibly popular tourist destination for years given that it is only ten minutes from Malaga airport, has hot weather for the majority of the year and beaches stretching all the way along the coast. Torremolinos is on the South coast of Spain and is part of the Costa Del Sol – literally the ‘Sun Coast’. We knew plenty about other popular gay places in Spain like Madrid and Barcelona, but were very surprised to find out that Torremolinos also has a huge gay scene to rival these cities.
Torremolinos is the gay hotspot of the Costa Del Sol.
