| The Keeping up with the Jone's started to leave Torremolinos for the flash and glitzy new kid on the block "Marbella and Puerto Banus" . But the Gay visitors and residents continued to grow and make the town their capital city, By the 80s it was no longer against the law to be gay here and bars like Mens Bar, The Bronx, Tension etc all opened with their crusing areas and videos, However it was not too popular with the parents and grandparents of good old spanish Catholic Kids, But this only helped Torremolinos to grow as a gay centre because local gay people did not want to frequent GAY Venues in their own towns like, Malaga, Marbella etc just in case they bumped into their "father"!!! so every weekend the town of Torremolinos Exploded with 1000s and 1000s of Gay Spaniards joining the international gay community in town for Sun, Sea, San Miguel and Sex, Lots of it The 80s and early 90s were the hey days of Gay Torremolinos but by the end of the 90s the gay tourists started to desert the Old Lady for new more fashionable gay resorts all over Europe. Torremolinos sat back on its past success and just took the money and failed to reinvest, not realising there was a new, trendy upmarket gay quarter growing and investing in every corner of the world, By early 2000 many thought the resort was finished as a gay resort,,,, But now good old Torre is bouncing back New Gay Discos and Gay Bars all expensively refitted are amongs the best in Europe and at weekends the towns gay area around La Nogalera is Electric.... The Costa del Sol has it all,The best beaches,culture in Malaga,Mega clubs and great gay bars in Torremolinos, lots of gay crusing costa del sol areas So watch this space Torremolinos is once again set to retake its No 1 place . |
