Torrox

The village of Torrox is located 44 kilometres from Malaga, on the eastern coast of the province lying on a hillock running down to the Mediterranean sea and sheltered from the northern winds by the Sierra Tejeda and Almijara. 

The annual average temperature is 18-28C, and there is no great temperature difference between summer and winter, moreover there can even be a subtropical touch. This is why Torrox proudly boasts the “best climate in Europe”.

This is a privileged spot to have a rest, as well as to enjoy its mountains and its beaches.

Still untouched by tourist development here you can truly appreciate the Spanish way of life, have unmatched mountain and sea views and of course to try some of its gastronomic specialities, such as "espetos of sardines", "migas cortijeras", fresh anchovies or "papas a lo pobre", enhancing the taste of any of them with the famous local wines. 

In Torrox you can find popular architecture such as the Moorish Quarter and wine and raisin presses and interesting industrial architecture such as the Sugar Factory.

Like many coastal villages, Torrox’s primitive nucleus is four kilometres from the shore with coastal districts mostly dedicated today to tourism: Torrox Costa, El Morche and Peñoncillo.

Torrox Costa, is only some 4 kilometres (2 miles) from Torrox with beautiful eaches, promenade, restaurants, shops, night life, tennis courts, swimming pools, etc. It is this combination of old and new which makes Torrox such an interesting place to stay. Here you can have a quiet villa holiday in the Torrox countryside with the convenience of easy access to modern Costa del Sol holiday resort facilities.
