English AP-7 over the hills
Motorway above Fuengirola.
Forty minutes from Marbella, Torremolinos keeps the spirit of early Costa del Sol tourism: pedestrian shopping streets running down to the sea, sardine skewers grilled on the sand, the Pimentel tower and a diverse, open nightlife.
To cover the 45 km from Marbella to Torremolinos the driver needs about 40 min, on the AP-7. You travel with no other passengers and a fixed quote per vehicle.
