Torremolinos’ Ruta del Rock is back, 60 free concerts, two weekends, zero excuses not to go

Torremolinos is ready to rock again as its bars and restaurants transform into live music venues for the 14th edition of the Ruta del Rock treating everyone to 60 free concerts across two weekends.

What is the Ruta del Rock?

Ruta del Rock is a hugely popular free, city-wide music crawl that takes over the bars and restaurants in Torremolinos. It has a massively successful track record as it is now in its 14th year.  You can hop between venues trying the different food and music at your own pace. Most performing artists are locally based and homegrown talent. Held in varying sized locations means you get to be really up close and personal with real true musicians.
