I have booked a week at the Don Paquito hotel this September.It seems to have very good write ups on various sites. Looking at Google earth it is difficult to see where the lift is to take you up top to the main town. Can anybody pinpoint for me please.
I guess it is to much of a trek to walk to the hotel,on Ave. del Lido,with luggage, from Torremolinos station.
Des.
Mmmm, this is going to be difficult to explain without an on-screen Google shot, but here goes.......
In Google put in Hostal Guadalupe.Torremolinos.....if you keep zooming in and then go onto a street view of the paseo maritimo and swing the orientation around, you'll see the hotel Hadi covered in green netting and a street kiosk advertising selling bebidas (drinks)
Behind that kiosk is a street (behind the wall with the green foliage hanging over in photo) that goes between the hostal and the boundary wall for the Hadi, and you just keep walking straight ahead and then you will see some steps tucked away in the corner....at the top of the steps on your left is the lift.

I'm going to have to use my memory here"¦.. walking down Calle San Miguel from the railway station, you come to a crossroad and you have to cross over the road (Calle de las Mercedes) to carry on walking down the rest of Calle San Miguel.
Turn left at the crossroad and a little further along the street is a kind of courtyard/precinct called Plaza de Panorama which will be on your right (opposite side of road) the lift is hidden at the back of this precinct.
As you can see by the photo, those steps make it impossible for the disabled or lifting heavy luggage, and it's about time Torremolinos got its act together.
I knew those photos would come in handy one day.

Nice one Sanji, found it.
I was up and down those steps 3 times last week-end, didn't know there was a lift
