Great videos Kevin. Looking forward to seeing Torremolinos in June for holidays

Kevin, many thanks for the tour of Torremolinos. Brought back many memories as my wife's brother lived there. They have both passed away, and I couldn't bring myself to return since. But seeing your video now makes me want to go back to remember the good times. So I think I'll book a visit in the autumn. I like your style of presentation. And wasn't that nice that a couple of your viewers said hello?! Have subscribed. Vivian

I really enjoyed torromolinos, quite a few times I got the bus from marbella bus station. The la concha mountain is a great climb with stunning views too in marbella.

Didn't go for years, mainly because my wife thought it was for pensioners. Spotted a decent deal in Feb into March, loved it. Its like the rest of Spain used to be and you can still have a haggle in the shops which I enjoy.

We have booked a place for next March in Costa Blanca…most people we know go to Costa del Sol but we were drawn to Alicante after watching a few youtube videos. Right now I am going to watch your videos on Costa Blanco. Thanks for all the great information!

The lift to/from the beach level is effectively behind that Mulligan's Irish pub. If you go down the streets either side of it, ahead of you will be the lift. 50c charge. Excellent place for food and cocktails called Buddha bar beside it.

These next couple of weeks will be expensive wherever you stay. The weekend just past was the beginning of the Spanish holidaymaker influx, this next four weeks will be extremely busy (with prices to match). Malaga, which is close by, have their Ferias (fairs), one in town the other on the outskirts at the main fairground. Enjoy your stay wherever you might end up, Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Fuengirola are great places to holiday. Hope to see you around.
