If you want the Torre of cut-price-holiday legend, here you go. This concrete box set in a garden of lofty pines has clean if dated rooms and a decent restaurant. Granted, it’s all a tad beige and boring, but the price is right and it’s perfectly positioned for strolling along the promenade that links Benalmádena's port with Torremolinos.
