Swimming Pool
Hi. We own an apartment in Torremolinos, and when we're over there we use there public swimming baths quite a lot. The one up by the crocodile park and where the car boot/market is held. We used to get a discount for owning our place and paying towards 'rates' etc. Its something like 7 euros to get in, but 2 euros if you showed proof of ownership of a place over there.
They have recently changed this and now you have to get an id card with your picture on.
They gestured to us, (as i can only speak basic words of spanish and they didn't speak any english), that we needed to go 'around the corner' to get the picture sorted out.
We had a walk around the back of the pool, but couldn't find anywhere which looked as if we could have gone in to get it sorted. We saw the big 'town hall' type building but it was closed anyway.
So we gave up and just went back and paid 7 euros each, which we now do everytime we go there.
Can anyone tell me where we have to go to get these picture ids done? Thanks.

Can't help other than to confirm without doubt it could have been anywhere within about 1km - around the corner isn't quite as accurate here as you might be used to in the UK!
