benalmadena to torremolinos

[northboy]

how long does it take to walk to torre.
and do you walk along the coastline to get there,

[gazzawazza]

It doesn't take long at all, they sort of merge into each other close to the marina and yes you can walk along the coastline (or the streets).

[jednbutter]

Yes you can walk the whole distance on the beach or follow the railway track footpath.

You can check yourself with Google maps.

Open www.google.co.uk

Search for "benalmadena" then select "maps" near the top of the page.You get a map of the area.

RIGHT click where you want to START the walk and select "Direction from Here"

Then RIGHT click where you want to the END the walk and select "Directions to here"

Then on the left select the little walking man (rather than the car).

It says it is about 8 Km and takes 1 hour 45 minutes.

You can zoom in and get your EXACT starting point and EXACT finish point to get a more accurate measurement.

If you know the hotel where you are staying you can zoom in to find it and get an exact starting point.

Northboy we go here every year. Depending how fast you walk, it takes about an hour (ish) to stroll along the front from the marina at Benalmadena to the bottom of the climb up to Torremolinos town.
We stay on the Carihuela each February (which is the beach between the two resorts and walking from one resort to the other is always part of our holiday. The Carihuela sea front walk is flat as a pancake so ideal for those who find it harder to walk, and plenty of stopping places and cafés along the way, highly recommended.

I don't know about the railway track path that jed mentions, we always walk next to the beach, the views to the Sierra Nevada as you walk towards Torremolinos are stunning.

Boxtops is spot on, it's also one of the most relaxing and enjoyable walks on that coast and at night it changes when market stalls and entertainers come out.
