Address: Paseo Marítimo de Torremolinos , 29620
La Carihuela isn’t just a beach—it’s where Hollywood royalty once soaked up the Mediterranean sun. Grace Kelly, Sinatra, Ava Gardner… they all left footprints in the sand here during the golden age of Torremolinos tourism. Nestled on the western edge of town, this 2-km stretch of coast blends vintage glam with laid-back Andalusian vibes, backed by a buzzing promenade full of beach bars, shops, and seafood joints.
It’s perfect for everything from romantic walks at sunset to fun family days by the sea. The old fishermen’s houses still peek through the modern beach scene, giving the place its unmistakable soul. Stay for the “pescaíto frito” (seriously, don’t skip it), catch some rays, and feel the timeless charm of a beach that’s stayed effortlessly cool for decades.
