Walkable Gluten-Free Dining in El Bajondillo
El Bajondillo offers two distinct areas for gluten-free dining. Along the beachfront promenade, you'll find 23 carefully researched gluten-free-friendly restaurants, with another 27 in Torremolinos Town.
Unlike La Carihuela, the restaurants are spread across both the seafront and the town above, making your choice of hotel particularly important if you prefer shorter walks.
A public lift connects El Bajondillo Beach with Torremolinos Town, while stepped routes offer another way between the two areas.
Each of our individual hotel and apartment guides includes a map showing the accommodation alongside nearby gluten-free-friendly restaurants, helping you see exactly where you'll be staying and how close you are to places to eat.

Why trust our recommendations ?
Gluten Free Stays was created by a family with first-hand experience of coeliac disease. We know how important it is to have plenty of gluten-free dining choices on holiday, which is why we carefully research restaurants and select accommodation within walking distance of places to eat.
We research restaurants and cafés offering gluten-free choices, using information from restaurant websites, menus and customer experiences to help us decide which places to include in our guides.
We then ask ourselves one simple question: would we feel happy taking our daughter Ella there on our own holiday?
If the answer isn't yes, it simply doesn't make it into our guides.
