The guy behind the Scottish couple owns El Elefante bar and is a gem of a person, made our trip there last year even more special. Great bar and La Carihuela is an amazing place sandwiched between Torremolinos and Benalmadena… the best out of the three places IMO.
Our favourite walk most evenings when we visit from Torremolinos near the Sol hotel complex along the front to what we call Ben-a-ma-dina and the harbour. Few cocktails then walk back. Love it and can't wait to get back there in three weeks time.
Love this place, we have strolled down this front many times, it’s fab, stopping off in the little bars looking out to sea, from Torremolinos round the corner then into La Carihuela, all the way to the harbour in Bemalmadena 😊
I stayed many years ago at the Don Pablo hotel on the other side of Torremolinos ( Bajondillo beach) but I preferred La Carihuela and spent most of my time along there. Back then there was no walkway around the headland and to get from one side to the other you had a long walk up through the town and back down. Lovely video Kevin, you’ve captured that Spanish character and atmosphere of a warm summers night☀️
Loved this video walking along the back street, have always walked it in daytime, you have shown it in another light and got me looking at holidays again 😀
La Carihuela is a great place to shop and eat and drink, good upmarket restaurants to little bars for cheaper British style meals, the El Mojito used to be owned by a London couple and did typical English food, had a cheap pint and some good entertainment on at night time, never been since before lockdown so don't know what it's like now .
La Carihuela is my own neighbourhood when I lived in Spain 30 years ago. It was nice and quiet. Now it looks really high end. I should have kept the flat when they sold them in pesetas. It was very cheap to live there. I am gobsmacked with how different it is now.
Kevin my first comment from a long time backgrounder. Love your channels wherever you go. I've been coming to Benalmadena for years and I've had that fabulous walk into Torremolions by the Prom. I've never known these side streets were there on the way in. We were in Tenerife in May and loved it but are going back to Benalmadena October please God. You've made my holiday before I even get there. Keep up the good work 👏
There's a cluster of Irish bars opposite the Sol Timor apartments Kevin, almost in Benalmádena as you walk towards the marina. Fabulous atmosphere in those Carihuela streets.
How did you miss this street lol. My cousin and I always spent the evening here when on holiday sitting outside the bar popular. Great friendly bar to sit and people watch
Loved this video, I know this place really well and love it! We are fortunate to have a small apartment right between Benalmadena and Torremolinos (on the border) I love both resorts as you say lovely atmosphere and very family friendly, thank you!
Just back from Torremolinos. Had a great holiday. Stayed at the Don Marco hotel, highly recommend it. Great videos Kevin, saw all the lovely places and walks that we also experienced. So nice to see it all again thanks Kevin. Mary and Peter.
It’s weird how I first stumbled across your channel a couple weeks ago as I was going to the algarve and now I’m travelling to torremolinos On Saturday, my next getaway after that is Munich at the end of July maybe you’ll do some guides there or is that wishful thinking. Great channel love the content!
The America you featured in this video we were there in May and ate there a few times food was amazing and staff were great with a street singer realy enjoyed it love your videos Kevin helping us decide where to go next thanks 🍺🍺🍺
Hi Kevin, that looks a lovely wee street. We've never been there, but you're giving us some great ideas..We just watched the Marbella video too and the old town was beautiful. Keep up the great work 👍
La Carihuela is great, stayed there a few times, very Dutch tho!! MgJamon 1.50 a pint green mahou, 1 euro wine or bottle of bud or corona. After La Carihuela is Montemar and then Benalmadena Marina.
Hi Kevin.just back from Torremolinos and you can get a bet in the big Irish bar in the centre,also get a newspaper close to where Baileys bar is.Baileys did have live music every 2nd night but heard you say Gerry was back in Ireland
@@craiglawrie8130 do you know the square at the train station?walking from there past McDonald and Deals plus the bars,walk on through the crossroads and it's on the right,about 30 yards
The place hasn't changed in 30 plus years since I last went. Still as busy with great bars and restaurants. Fantastic informative video Kevin as usual. 👍👍
Remember Rosie o Grady’s ? Closed years back , 1990 onwards we spent our summer hols here , beautiful place , looking to see if it’s changed much as thinking of going back next summer ,
Great Video . Haven't been there since the start of the pandemic. I always walk from torremolinos to The very far end of Benalmadena . As far as the path takes you. Either at the Seafront the back streets , where you were or along the top . Not a lot to see along the top but you will encounter a few Irish bars . Near the Lidl. on the way into Benalmadena. Thanks for the video. Heading over in a few months. You have given me some food for thought.
Charming, you won't be buying an ice cream from there! 🤣 The Bar Elephante looked good, we'd definitely be going there 🐘 We went in the winter, so it was much quieter. S&J 🐘
Brilliant video Kevin, it's brilliant to see resorts you hear about but never visit. Plenty of lovely bars and restaurants on that gorgeous street. Sand castle model was cracking. It was made of sand? I love it when you meet Scottish folk and have a blether, makes me feel like I'm back in Glasgow. Do t know if some viewers understand the banter but keep it up as it is so good. You must get exhausted with all walks and videos, makes sure you drink plenty water in that heat not just tapas and come lol. Take care and keep safe. You're brilliant 🤗
Hi Kevin .la carihuela is better than belamadena or torremolinos we have been going to 25 years now .mainly elderly people stay there is so flat you can walk into torri or belamadena fantastic place to go and when you talk to people at Home they have never heard of in even my granddaughter is in the travel industry an she has not heard of it wat ch all the games in Winston's .mojitos were Elvis sing (by the way he's one of the best Elvis s IV heard and also plays at cabopino camp site which you should have a look at there lovely marina ) Elvis plays in mojitos every second week .never seen any trouble there any time we been . Went in April for a. Month and back in sept oct for a mo nth love the p!ace great video !!!
Discovery Is magic isn't it. You'll understand maybe why I sort of strayed away from Nerja to holiday around the Torremolinos area. Even then, you're missing a lot, which is understandable given how long you're staying, especially the little pueblos just behind the coast in the foothills of the mountains... Benalmadena Pueblo, Mijas Pueblo to name just a couple. The sheer variety available just because the public transport along this part of the coast is so good... and cheap as chips. I had actually planned on retiring there, but compared to where I actually did end up (Oliva in the Valenciana Region, about half-way between Benidorm and Valencia city itself) the CdS is quite expensive as a retirement option, at least on my pension... and I didn't really want to spend the rest of my life tripping over tourists every day for the rest of my life. I still get down to Torre occasionally, (next month actually) because I can get flights down from Valencia for around 10 euros ew Enjoy the rest of your trip
Ran the Torremolenos half marathon decades ago. Stayed in Benalmadena then but had a horrific experience there. Someone tried to take our daughter away from the hotel. Will never go back.
Thanks for Watching !

Great vid. If you go Bonanza Square like to see bar Ibensa say Hi to Derek behind bar
It's not a nice beach it's volcanic sand and sea weed coming down from the straits off Gibraltar stop lieing it's a dump

I endorse that! We know him as Jimmy Elephant ....!!!
Going to Benalmadena for the first time in a few weeks. Will certainly be exploring this area, it looks lovely, right up my street. Thank you Kevin.
carihuela is lovely. very family orientated
Stayed at the Barracuda Hotel in 2010. Couldn't believe what a lovely place this is. Thanks for the trip.
We go to La Carihuela all the time it’s the best location for seafood restaurants in all costa del sol, beaches are amazing as well ,
wonderful place and so different since we were last there. Lots more going on. Returning June 2023.
if you love the canaries and the costa del sol these are great vids to watch. Thanks feller.
Thanks 👍
Brilliant will defo source it out in a few weeks have walked along ther over the tears and never knew it to be there!
What a lovely place & a nice atmosphere.
La Carihuela, Calle Bulto, fabulous, takes you down to the marina

When you first came to Torremolinos I commented on your live feed to come here!
Been going for 25 years. Amazing place . Thoroughly recommend it

it used to be on the promenade where the red and blue tiles change is where Torremolinos and Benalmadena change
La Carihuela is a great place to shop and eat and drink, good upmarket restaurants to little bars for cheaper British style meals, the El Mojito used to be owned by a London couple and did typical English food, had a cheap pint and some good entertainment on at night time, never been since before lockdown so don't know what it's like now .
Stayed in La Carihuela 10 years running, its fantastic. Bit of a hidden jem
Great video...never been to this place but I will now...Thanks!
Love it around them back streets best tapas
We go here all the time, while wishing the area, its the best area in our opinion
La Carihuela is my own neighbourhood when I lived in Spain 30 years ago. It was nice and quiet. Now it looks really high end. I should have kept the flat when they sold them in pesetas. It was very cheap to live there. I am gobsmacked with how different it is now.

Lovely spot.

People are strange.

You don't have to be Scottish to understand it🙂
Thanks
Thinking of going soon, this was a great help, Kevin. 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely bar in montemar called Pat Murphys owned by Tara from Dublin see you in September 👍
You should try some of the chiringuito tapas restaurants along that promenade, they're outstanding.
Best place ever 💪
Great walk Kevin out there in October staying sol don Pedro 👏 👌 👍

Well done Kevin on finding that street I was shouting at the screen, justice has been done :)
Lol
That's a great video Kevin me and my old decided friend yoused to walk that area thank you
La Carihuela is part of the Torremolinos community.
Ohhh, I live there.
Stay clear of playa de palma in Majorca, might as well have went to Berlin for my holiday
Might as well have 'gone' not might as well have 'went'

Hey don’t go telling everyone 😂

Wow sorry to hear that.
