Fantastic comparison, I've never been to any of these so it was great to see what they were like. The beauty of Málaga is it's an interesting city with beaches as well, so I think the only one that would tear me away for a day trip would be Benalmádena, just to ride that fantastic cable car! Cheers Scott.

OMG!! At 9:28 there was the street where my parents had owned a house in Benalmádena for more than 30 years! We spent every single summer break there ever since I was a little toddler. So many fond memories came back watching your footage. Sadly, my dad had to sell the house back in 2011. Feeling nostalgic now… thank you for the great work!!

One of the nicest things I find is just the walk between Torremolinos and Benalmadena on the costal path, and it's easy to get a bus back. The Parque de la Paloma in Benalmadena is lovely too, just a short walk down from the Arroyo de Miel station. The castle in Fuengirola is worth a visit, if just for the views. Lots to do down there and all within easy reach of Malaga which these days has become one of the best cities in Spain to visit.

In May 2000 my sister-in-law and I took my 6 year old daughter on a cheap 5 day package deal to the Costa del Sol where we didn't know where we were staying till we got there. We ended up in Mijas Costa, in a hotel right next to the motorway. There was no beach and no amenties apart from a few restaurants so we asked the Thompson rep about what to do and she suggested getting the local bus that went along the motorway. It was a 2 minute walk to the bus stop so we visited Fuengirola and Marbella, both of which we enjoyed. We also went on an organised bus trip to Gibraltar. It wasn't until we'd been back home a couple of weeks that I watched a holiday programme on TV that mentioned Mijas. Apparently the village of Mijas was 10km away from where we stayed and is a great place to visit. I've googled it since and it looks like the kind of place I'd love. The rep never even mentioned it.

You missed the best of Torremolinos. My daughter and I were there this June and we had a blast. They have excellent Flamenco shows, you can choose among many excellent restaurants to eat at the shore, after a day at the beach. "Hamacas" with umbrellas are decently priced at 6 euros for the full day, and having the train station in the middle of town, while seemless, is extremely convenient to head to Malaga or any other town/stop for the day. The local bus station/stops are also very conveniently located, walking distance within town (we rode a bus to visit some friends in Estepona), and many tours to relevant historic places, such as Granada, Sevilla, Cordoba, Nerja and Frigiliana, etc. pick-up tourists close to Torremolinos' train station. Also, Torremolinos is a shot away from Malaga's airport. Something we always consider, as we travel from the USA. Oh... and I was forgetting more... Some of the best icecream and shopping we have enjoyed. And hotels are excellently priced in the center of town. We loved Torremolinos!!

Just behind the Sealife you showed is a fantastic marina full of boats and fish, with many bars and restaurants that are buzzing at night and quieter during the day but a great place to pass an hour or so. There is also a nice park with a lake full or terrapins and a dedicated cactus garden. The two centres can be reached by buses if you don't fancy a walk.

Torremolinos is the best town of the three Scott. I was staying in Torremolinos in January. The RENFE Cercanías (C) 1 station is centrally located allowing for ease of travel into Málaga Ciudad, Málaga airport station and also to Málaga Maria Zambrano station for high-speed services to many destinations. A day trip to Seville is possible. I also used the bus from Torremolinos to Ronda and returned by three different trains on the same day. It's also possible to fly on a day trip to Melilla if you book up in advance. Accommodation is marginally cheaper in Torremolinos than Màlaga Ciudad also. For me, the geography of Benalmádena turned me off the place because the C1 line veers too far inland away from the coast. As for Fuengirola, the station isn't nice and there was nothing in the town that I liked. Give me Torremolinos any time!!!

Torremolinos is physically the ugliest of the three. Benalmádena is more upscale. Fuengirola is a bit more authentically Spanish. Buildings need an update in Torremolinos. But it’s probably the most vibrant nightlife, especially for LGB community.

I flew from Edinburgh to Torremolinos with an ex girlfriend in 2014. We walked along the coast towards Benalmadena and the seafront with lots of lovely yauchts sitting in the harbour. It was quite pleasant there I thought although we never went to the cable car! Sadly, I share the same sentiment as you, I didn't find there was a lot to do there and it certainly wasn't as pleasant as visiting S'illot, Majorca a few years before that. We were that bored, we decided to take the train across to Málaga for the day, which was far nicer. I wished we booked a stay there instead! I don't think I would go back to Torremolinos but then again I'm not in a great state to travel far anymore, especially by myself, so I enjoy those many travel videos that you post!

I stayed in Fuengirola on a 2 week holiday back in 2007. I was only 17 at the time and travelled with my family. My aunt, uncle and cousins were on holiday in Torremolinos at the same time so we caught the train to visit them. Public transport is good in the Costa Del Sol. I was on the cable car during the holiday too. Another nice place to visit in Fuengirola is the castle, great views from the top, Gary

I have been to all three, my favourite to stay long term is Fuengirola as there are more locals than the two others to interact with, other than British and Dutch tourists. Benalmadena is pretty good, aside from the trek from the sea to the city center and train station. Torremolinos is not bad if you are looking for casual shopping and dining, but I agree with your overall assessment. You seem to have missed the Caruehela part of Torremolinos which is a bit classier than up the cliff near San Miguel.

That was excellent! It made a fascinating comparison to those places when I lived in Malaga for several years around the turn of the century. Back then you went by train if it was necessary to visit Torremolinos because you always felt that, if you took a car, you’d return to find it up on bricks and with the battery missing. Nice to see the Islamic tower still doubling as a telegraph pole. Benelmadena was always the quietest resort even when the hilltop funfair was open. There are some interesting prehistoric cave dwellings in that hill with ‘cup and ring’ engravings. There are Roman remains, too as well as at Fuengirola including unused pillars on the beach and some structures protected by having new buildings on stilts over them. Fuengirola is far enough from Malaga to need to provide all services, hence its larger size. All the stations seem to have been vastly improved. The towers are interesting - square are Moorish, round are Christian. Used to look out for raiders from N Africa, hence Arroya de la Miel being inland for protection. There is also a castle at Fuengirola. Many thanks for reviving possibly slightly flawed memories.

I can't comment on your Spanish pronunciation but the way you pronounced Adidas made me smile, in fact, I had to wind back a couple of times to listen again. Which town would I like best? Well, to be honest, I didn't like any of them all that much because in my opinion they are touristy and what puts me off are all those British pubs and restaurants. When I go abroad I like to enjoy and experience the local food and drinks and I don't want a kind of "home from home" vacation. Apart from all that, Scott, another good and informative video.

Torremolinos nice but very hilly, you can always catch the lift from the bottom back up to the top, cost 50c well worth it. Fuengirola good for food and night life, also they have a small harbour,with lovely restaurants and cafes not expensive. I love Benalmadena Bonanza square , great place with lots of tapa’s bars.

Bars shops and not much more. I did enjoy Fuengirola as I found it appeared to have a little more on the Iines of history and traditional buildings with the Spanish tiles which I love. That cable car and the birds of prey experience at the top is a real treat and so I’ll go with you as regards which is best 👍

My first ever foreign holiday was to Torremolinos! I was 16 years old and had just finished taking my O Levels, so it was a special time! But the thing is, we didn't stay in the main town, but in a suburb just to the west called La Carihuela, which was lovely. I did venture into the town myself one day (I've always had wanderlust, so left everyone else sitting by the pool while I went off to explore), and remember not being that keen on it! 😄

We have stayed in Benalmadena twice now a few years ago, there are also a couple of nice parks away from the main areas, one has a lake and a library building and lots of greenery think its called parc de las palomas and the other lots of trees etc, we tend to walk around the local areas and its surprising what you come across. One visit we walked to Fuengirola which I think is about 8km and it was definitely more built up from previous visit and you pass a massive holiday complex think tui own it. but its a pleasant if longish walk along the front. In Fuengirola did you spot the monument on the beach front as you enter which has a large pesetas coin symbol in it. (assuming its still there ). We walked to Torremolinos and found it quite built up and seemed alot busier in what seemed like a smaller area than Benalmadena although I did read somewhere that Benalmadena has the largest social housing for ex-pats and locals in Europe. Perhaps someone else may know if this is true or not. We will definitely re-visit this are since we were last there in 2015.

The best day trip is surely Torremolinos due to the location of the train station - not everyone likes to walk for miles Scott lol

Arroyo de la Miel is Benalmadena's stop. Our house is near the El Pinillo station, so halfway between Torremolinos' downtown and Arroyo de la Miel.

Bonjour, Here in Québec, we also eat beans for breakfast with eggs and bacon. Influence of british colanisiation I suppose. I was in Torremolinos one year ago and love it. Thank’s a lot for your rewiew! Au revoir ! ✈️

I see these places as one as a continuous sprawl out of Málaga more or less coastal suburbs. Not unusual in Mediterranean Spain and each one not unpleasant, certainly more pleasant than the overrated Marbella down the coast although I love the Old Town there. Out of these three it’s pretty much impossible to choose a favourite and depends on personal circumstances, but for me I would choose Benalmádena as close to the border with La Carihuela or the other way round. Maybe the area around the Hotel Aramagua would be best for me.

A wonderful place to visit 15 minutes walk on the promenade from Torremolinos is the town of La Carehuela. We have stayed a few times. Lovely bars and restaurants not as built up as Torremolinos.

Well we are thinking of a relaxing week on the Costa Del Sol next year. Torremolinos is mostly just for relaxing. Spots all along that cost, Marbella etc and possible on to Gibralta. Actually prefer it when it's busy, Do a spot of people watching.

We stayed in the wonderful Melia Costa Del Sol in Torremolinos for ten days and used the C1 train to visit Malaga twice, Benelmadina and Fuengirola. There is plenty to do in all four places, but you should do far more research before you leave home.

I was in benalmadena at the same time as u and was 100% was my favourite I loved the marina. With the sealife being worth it. There's alot more to torremolinos than what you showed also. And fuengirola was OK I haven't stayed there in about 10 years.

I stayed in benalmadena for a week about 15 years ago was nice and did manage to walk to fuengirola along the beach. I liked both places in their own way. Where I was staying had loads of elephant Statues.

From where you were on the beach at Torremolinos you could have walked ten minutes into Benelmadena instead of having to walk all the way back up through the old town to get a train. You also missed out on visiting Benelmadena old town

Agree with your assessment. I've been to all three and I agree. Benalmadena is the best. Granted, I visited a long, long time ago, and things have changed a lot. Torremolinos used to be a hippie town after a bunch of people read The Drifters.

Another great video. Technically that's a gondola right enough, not a cable car, they're fundamentally different.

Been to all three, Stay every year at Hotel Costa Del Sol in Benalmadena (Near Torromulle railway station) right on the edge of Benalmadena, lovely quiet end of Benalmadena. So much so we have stayed there now for the last 7 years, So my vote goes to Benalmadena.

That cable car looked amazing with incredible views. The walk to the top after looked, wellll, a bit dodgy at least to my poor old knees. When you said "Should we climb those stairs to the top?", Greg and I said to each other "If this was a @steve-marsh video, that answer would be a definite yes." And, of course, you said "yes", too. :) Hey, did we miss you requiring a coffee for cruising altitude in today's video? #youtuberbingocard
