Torremolinos, Spain - A Place in the Sun

Torremolinos, Spain, Jasmine Harman

Jasmine Harman is househunting in southern Spain with Mike and Owen from Cardiff. The couple immediately fell in love with Torremolinos when they visited 4 years ago, and knew this was the place they wanted to have  their own holiday home. However, it was not until their American friend Brad suggested they buy a place between the 3 of them that it became possible. Jasmine has 5 great options for their budget of £120,000 – but will they love any enough to make an offer? 

About the area

Torremolinos lies on the Costa Del Sol in southern Spain, and is less than a quarter of an hours drive from Malaga airport –  the flight time from the UK is around 3 hours. Torremolinos is one of Europe’s oldest and most famous tourist resorts and it’s as well known for its nightlife as it is for sun sea and sand. The town has had a bit of a revamp in recent years with many of its older buildings replaced by more modern ones. We’ll also be looking in some of the neighbouring towns in this part of the Costa Del Sol which are slightly less lively but still have more than enough to keep anyone busy when the sun’s out – and when it goes down.
