The name of Torremolinos comes from the Muslim era, around the 13th or 14th centuries, when several mills were built in the area around the Torre Pimentel, a coastal watchtower whose function was to spot pirate ships to protect the population... Currently, this emblematic tower, icon of Torremolinos, can be visited from the outside. It is located in a typical traditional area full of craft and gift shops.
