5 things to do in Torremolinos
Casa de los Navajas
In the 90s, Torremolinos acquired and declared the Casa de Los Navajos a historic building. Still, before that, it belonged to the Luque-Navajas family, and up to three generations had lived there. Hiring this palace-like house for weddings and other ceremonies is now possible. Other times the buildings are used for concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions.
The Alhambra palace inspires the inside furnishings in Granada. The towers have a beautiful view over the Mediterranean Sea and the Costa del Sol coastline. The building survived the “Golden era” when construction companies knocked many buildings down and instead built a lot of hotels.
You can find this incredible building here.
