About Playa del Bajondillo

By Equipe editorial GTM Labs · Updated 08/10/2026

Bajondillo beach lies in the centre of Torremolinos, between La Carihuela and Playamar beaches, and is just over a kilometre long and about 40 metres wide. Its sand is dark, and El Morro, a natural monument, rises at one end. From the town centre you can walk down via Calle San Miguel, the Camino de la Playa, with steps, or the Cuesta del Tajo, and there is a public lift from Plaza del Panorama; a seafront promenade runs along the beach.
