The Timor Sol is situated at the furthest west part of Torremolinos at its border with Benalmadena. I have been visiting these apartments for the last 27 years.
They are clean, have a first class restaurant and bar- they have a vast garden and a large swimming pool. There is always a life guard on duty. The staff are friendly, helpful and conversant in most languages. A large number of staff members have been there for up to 25 years. Even they like the place.
On the Calle Salvador Allende opposite the building there are a row of shops and bars, one of them is Dixies where friendships are formed and renewed annually. The apartments are next to the Hotel Aloha Puerto Sol- one of the best hotels I have ever visited -and I say this as an ex-manager of a Hilton in Scotland.
But what really stands out and makes this area special is its close proximity to many attractions. The marina 100 metres away. The Carihuela area is not to be missed and is within walking distance along a flat promenade ideal for wheelchair users.
Other attractions include the cable car ride to the mountain top. Tivoli World. Trips to Ronda, Mijas, Marbella and Puert Banus are all within easy distance. A fine day trip can be had at Gibraltar or a trip across to Tangier in Morocco.
If you want a holiday that offers you beautiful weather, moderate prices and plenty of places to visit within easy reach, then come to this area and I guarantee you will return.
