Renovations in Torremolinos

Torremolinos was a pioneer of Spanish coastal tourism in the 1960s, which has left a property stock with a unique personality: apartment blocks from the first wave of development in El Bajondillo and Playamar, the La Carihuela district with its old fishermen’s houses turned into urban homes, and later developments in Montemar, La Nogalera, Pinillo and El Pinar. Today it combines heavy holiday use, short-let rentals and a sizeable core of permanent Spanish and European residents. The dominant work is modernising 1960s–70s–80s flats that have gone decades without a deep renovation.

What we do in Torremolinos

Typical projects:

• Full renovation of a 1960s–70s frontline flat — Playamar, El Bajondillo, seafront: complete services replacement (old iron or lead plumbing, new electrical board, ventilation), kitchen opened to the living room, walk-in shower bathrooms in place of bathtubs, porcelain floors, aluminium or PVC joinery with thermal break (essential because of the salt air)
• Fisherman’s house restoration in La Carihuela — narrow 2–3 storey homes with patio or rooftop terrace, preserving the district’s character: lime wash, typical façade, tiled roof, careful interior reconfiguration
• Holiday-let renovations — strong short-let market in Torremolinos: durable finishes, built-in furniture, neutral, timeless décor, per-room HVAC, smart lock
• Villa or detached home renovation in upper districts — Montemar, Pinillo, El Pinar: villas with plots, kitchen and bathroom modernisation, pool, terraces
• Commercial premises in the centre and La Nogalera — fit-out for hospitality, retail or nightlife with activity licence
• Balcony glazing and thermal/acoustic insulation upgrades — frequent in older flats to gain usable space and cut HVAC consumption

We handle minor works licences at Torremolinos town hall and prior notification to the community of owners. For fishermen’s house renovations in La Carihuela, there are municipal aesthetic guidelines that we follow.
