Gypsies
  • Tip Rating:
  • The gypsies are not as prevelant as the rest of Spain but they are still there. Do not uy their roses because it just makes them more pushy.

    Also, keep a close eye on your wallet. Maybe keep it in your front pocket so the gypsies do not steal it.

    British tourists and other nationalities who need to exchange their currency for Euros (or vice versa) should avoid the rip-off rates provided by Chequepoint. The company has at least one branch in Torremolinos at the following address:

    C/ San Miguel 14, Torremolinos

    If you want to avoid being ripped off, change money at a reputable bank or better still, use a Visa Electron card at a bank branch. Click on the logo so that you can steer well clear of it.

    Stormy Weather
    Off season there are times when strong winds blow for a protracted time across the Mediterranean from Southwest to Northeast (and others from the west eastward). The effect on seafronts may be significant and at times damaging, even though this is an annual fact. For the tourist with limited time, this requires replanning or schedule rearrangement. With tours you are at the mercy of the guides or sometimes the company. I have never heard of an agency who had a "book" on the behaviour of the tour companies they represent! In our case Mother Nature caused a one day delay in our trip to Tangier because the ferry was not running. What if we had been in Tangier and were to come back?. So if you plan two-day trips during storm season from Torremolinos, be sure to schedule them early in your stay. The walk along the Paseo as the wind subsided was enhanced by the sprightly weather, in fact it was quite sunny.
