<h2>Torremolinos</h2>
Torremolinos, located just 12 km south of <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/destination/gay-spain/gay-malaga">M&aacute;laga</a>, is in the heart of the Costa del Sol, and has been much improved since its reputation as the worst excess of Spain&rsquo;s mass tourism industry back in the 1980&rsquo;s.
Both the town and its legendary beaches have had a thoroughly modern makeover, and now attract many discerning Spanish, together with international, tourists.
Torremolinos&nbsp;has long been a popular gay holiday destination and has the largest gay scene of the Spanish Costas.

<h2>Gay Scene</h2>
Torremolinos has been a popular gay destination from the very start of the tourism industry here in the late 1950&rsquo;s, surviving both Franco&rsquo;s dictatorship and the mass package tourism onslaught which followed Spain&rsquo;s liberation in the late 1970&rsquo;s.
The gay scene and night is focused in and around La Nogalera, an open-air (though quite shabby to be honest), shopping complex in the very centre of town. &nbsp;As is quite typical in Spain, the result is a jumbled up mix of family restaurants, local shops,&nbsp;<a title="Torremolinos gay bars" href="https://www.travelgay.com/torremolinos-gay-bars/">Gay Bars</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/torremolinos-gay-dance-clubs/">Dance Clubs</a>.
The scene here is not just the preserve of the visiting gay tourists and this is especially so at weekends, when it gets very busy with a young local crowd from all around the Costa del Sol and nearby M&aacute;laga.

<h2>Things to See &amp; Do</h2>
The beaches have always been by far and away the main attraction to this part of the Spanish Mediterranean coast, and continue to be so.
There have been significant investments though throughout the town and to landscaping the beach front areas, and there are &nbsp;now some alternative options to the golden sun and sand.
La Carihuela - one of the town's districts which is well worth seeking out. What used to be once an old fishing village is now known throughout Spain as a centre for Andalucian cuisine, with a particular speciality for seafood.
Calle San Miguel - the main shopping street of the revitalised town centre has a good range of shops from designer boutiques to gift shops.
Aqualand&nbsp;- the biggest water park in this region of Spain is just 10 minutes out of town
Parque Batteria (Battery Park)&nbsp;- located above La Carihuela beach and accessible from Montemar Alto Station. This is an old military fortress transformed into a stunning park, complete with lake, glass conservatories and a tower, the Torre Mirador, for fine views down over La Carihuela Beach and out to sea. Summer opening hours: Monday: 17:30-00:00. Tuesday to Sunday: 11:00-00:00.
Molina de Inca botanic garden - located at Ca&ntilde;ada de los Cardos, near Aqualand. There are many tree varieties here and aviaries containing all sorts of birds, for when you need a break from the beach. Summer opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday: 11:30-14:00 and 18:00-21:00.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<h2>Money</h2>

&nbsp;
<h2>Other Useful Information</h2>

From the white-washed houses of the nearby mountain village of Mijas to the city of M&aacute;laga, and onward train connections from there to Seville, Cordoba and Granada, and its magnificent Alhambra Palace, this region of Spain has something to offer everybody.

The difference between legal age of consent for homosexual sex and heterosexual sex.

* \"From\" date taken from earliest recorded specific legislation on the matter. MSM is not contemplated as a criterion for exclusion. 
 
Information regarding blood donation by MSM during the Franco dictatorship is unknown, but was probably outlawed along with the practice of homosexuality. No specific legal texts from that historical time period address the issue.

If the law is approved, this point marks that reports or evidence will no longer be needed for a person to make an official registration change of their gender identity. According to the General Directorate of Sexual Diversity and Rights, this can be done "through a system of double appearance, without medical or judicial protection."

Consensual sexual activity between individuals of the same sex.

The Vagrants and Common Delinquents Law (Ley de Vagos y Maleantes) was modified under the regime of Francisco Franco to prohibit homosexual acts, with a penalty of imprisonment.
