We have family in Alhaurin de la Torre and although we are welcome to stay at our family's home, we prefer to keep a certain independency and stay in a hotel.
We always stay at the "Cortijo Chico" (four times already), simply because it is very convenient, it is clean and quiet, staff is very nice and you get a lot of value for the money. The restaurant is excellent for a fair price. Yo definitely need a car ... you are bit in the middle of nowhere, but still the nearest beach is about 10 mins by car and so is the airport. Breakfast is nothing spectacular but for the for the price you are paying more than acceptable.
Next year we will stay at the Cortijo Chico again ... no question about that!
