A classic gay sauna is manageably represented in Torremolinos, because the place lives more from the beach and bars than from a large sauna scene. In the middle of La Nogalera is the most famous address, which combines the usual areas such as the steam bath, jacuzzi and cabins with its own entertainment program. It is within walking distance of Bargasse, so a visit can easily be incorporated into an evening. If you are looking for pure wellness without a scene-typical environment, you are more likely to find it in the spa areas of larger hotels.
In addition to the sauna, Torremolinos has several cruising establishments that are also concentrated around the plaza. They range from simpler bars with darkrooms to more specialized clubs and cater to different preferences. A second part of this page takes place outside, because the gay beach at Playa del Bajondillo in front of the two beach clubs is a central meeting place for the scene in summer. Anyone who is out and about in semi-public spaces should observe the usual rules on discretion and consideration. A broad indoor sauna scene like in Madrid or Barcelona does not replace this, but it shapes what Torremolinos is all about in this respect. The following tips will show you where it is worth visiting.
