Well-known Costa del Sol beach club totally gutted following early-morning blaze

Torremolinos firefighters were alerted to the blaze at 00.35am where they found a fire that was burning fiercely, and crews initially concentrated their efforts on dampening the surrounding area to prevent it from spreading to neighbouring properties.

It is a new tragedy on the promenade when, in January 2020, the Moliere Playa beach bar - also with a clientele similar to Kokun, and dedicated mostly to organising parties and live music, was completely destroyed by another fire.

The local authorities and firefighters still consider that it is too early to venture a possible cause of this latest fire, and explain that they will have to wait for the forensic police to complete their investigations.
