Be Safe in Torremolinos

Visitors to Torremolinos should take the same precautions that they would take when travelling to any holiday area. Although it is a safe and cheerful resort town, crime is present and it is a good idea to prevent and prepare as much as possible.

Safety

Torremolinos is no different from any other popular resort beach in that it has its fair share of bag-snatchers and pickpockets. Travellers should always be mindful of their belongings, especially when taking them to the beach or while out enjoying the bars and clubs at night. Be sure to leave no items visible in your rental car, taking your belongings with you or storing them in the boot, and for precious valuables and travel documents, be sure to make use of the hotel safe.

Health

Torremolinos poses no specific or unusual health risks to travellers. However, visitors should be careful regarding their exposure to the sun and apply the appropriate amount of sunscreen. Cooler temperatures from the sea breezes can lull beachgoers into associating the wonderfully mild weather with an underestimation of the suns rays, leaving some travellers open to painful sunburn.

Travel insurance

Despite all the careful measures travellers may take during their vacation in Torremolinos, unforeseen and unwanted events may still occur, causing harm or loss. The wisest precaution any traveller can take is to invest in travel insurance before setting off on holiday. Travel insurance is an easy and affordable way to ensure that you arent left short.

Visitors who are citizens of the EU can get free medical treatment in Torremolinos, while all other visitors should ensure they have comprehensive health insurance to cover the costs of any medical treatment during their stay.
