Torremolinos 8
Torremolinos became very affordable. You can drink and eat very inexpensively... Many restaurants dropped their prices since the crisis has started. We had lovely tapas all over Torremolinos, with especially good ones and very budget served at Matahambre restaurant (near hotel Cervantes) and El Gato Lounge on beach promenade, near hotel Melia. There are some very nice nightclubs opened in Los Alamos area, beach clubs like Cafe del Sol and Kokun are very funky and popular with Malaga crowd.

Benidorm 7
Benidorm has everything for every one of any age, it is not comparable with anywhere else. Where else can you sit in the sun, have a coffee cake and a short for two euro, have a three course meal with drink for five. Its clean, generally safe and full of life. Only drawback as I see is it may be a little too hot in the summer. If you don't enjoy Benidorm you are most likely dead!!
