Hi, we're a 22yr old couple looking to go to costa del sol in august. After looking at many websites we still cant decide on whether to go to torremonlinos or fuengirola. I would really appreciate some advice on either resort.
We are after something lively..bars and nightclubs, but nothing TOO crazy and noisy. We also would like to relax too. I've heard torremonlinos is the sunny version of blackpool with lots of drunken brits. Is this the case? Would fuengirola maybe be a little calmer? Or perhaps too calm?
I would appreciate any advice, thanks!!
Torremolinoss would be fine, stay near to the Marina where there are bars and restaurants. I would prefer there than Fuengirola.

Thanks for your reply. Can you give me some idea of the type of nightlife there? Is it typical spanish? or more touristy? eg. do the clubs play the likes of UK chart music? Or perhaps something completely different? Not really sure what to expect - thanks
Have sent you a pm
Have you thought about Benalmadena? It has the busy 24 hour square, and as long as you stay away from Linekars bar and Liquid (both in the same corner) alot of fun can be had at the other bars there, with them playing uk top 40 tunes and 70s and 80s stuff as well, a real party atmosphere, newist bar is Molly Malones, a big Irish retro bar but it more popular with spanish, english scottish and welsh than irish lol.. but is good fun, open til 6am i think.
Then of course you have Puerto Marina, a tad classier than the square, but equally alot more expensive.. some cool bars and clubs there, and of course the setting is lovely. By day its a great place to eat on the water and people watch.
Also, benefit of Benalamadena is it is central to everywhere, so you can go one way or the other if you fancy having a mooch about the areas, and with a very good bus and train service at very good fares it wont break the bank.
Hope that helps you.

Think Benalmadena would suit you both, plus its not far to Torre from there, if you fancy checking that out too, also Fuengirola can be reached by bus/train...although think last bus back maybe around 11pm, although in summer there are buses running into the early hours..Hope you enjoy your stay where-ever you choose..
Yeah we have since considered Benalmadena. unfortunately we cant find any apartments there to stay - crazy eh?! They either are way too expensive, have got really bad reviews, dont have a pool, or are miles away from everything. Its very tough! If we stayed in torremelinos, could we go out to benalmadena for a night out (it does sound brilliant!), or would it be too far away to do that?
They are right next to each other with Carihuela in between. Good public transport system and not too far for the taxis too. Go for it.
I haven't stayed in Fuengerola before but more lively than Torremelinos now.
