Most people come to Torremolinos to spend idle days on one of its beaches. The largest and most popular two are Playamar and Bajondillo, which both offer safe swimming and all sorts of watersports. Bars and cafés along the promenade offer respite and refreshment away from the sun. The nearby water park is one of the best on the continent and is a great family day out (tel: 952 38 8888). Popular excursions from the resort include a trip to El Ranchito, a wonderful display where horses and riders display their skill in a form of equestrian ballet, choreographed to music (tel: 952 38 3063). The spectacular hilltop town of Ronda is also worth a visit for those wanting to escape the beach for a day.
