Members and guests gathered on 25 February to hear a talk on ‘The Golden Age of Torremolinos’: an audiovisual presentation by guest speakers José Luis Cabrera and Lutz Petry, founders of the website www.torremolinoschic.com

During the event, held at the Taberna Matahambre in Torremolinos, the speakers drew on their collection of photos from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s to describe the town’s atmosphere at the time, when it gained a reputation as Spain’s foremost resort, famous for its multiple discotheques and wild nightlife as well as the presence of foreign tourists, including the first bathers to don bikinis in a country still ruled by Franco.
