Torrox
The sunny jewel of Axarquía
Sunshine all year round
Torrox, with more than 320 sunny days a year, is the perfect destination for anyone who loves warmth and sunshine. Summers are hot but pleasant thanks to the fresh breeze from the Mediterranean Sea. Winters are mild — ideal for walks along the beaches or in the hills around the town. The white village of Torrox Pueblo lies on a gentle slope, offering breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding olive groves.
Traditional dishes and local delicacies
In Torrox, local restaurants specialize in fresh fish such as sea bass and octopus, as well as traditional dishes like ajoblanco — a chilled almond soup with grapes — or migas, fried bread crumbs with garlic and ham. The promenade and historic center are full of tapas bars serving grilled sardines, fresh prawns, and seasonal salads prepared with Axarquía olive oil. Weekend markets offer local products — citrus fruits, olives, and fresh fish — perfect for enjoying local cuisine straight from regional producers.
From fairways to beautiful mountain trails
Torrox is ideal for an active lifestyle — running, nordic walking, and cycling can all be complemented by relaxing walks along the coastal promenade. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy paddleboarding, windsurfing, or kayaking, while golfers will appreciate Baviera Golf, just a few minutes’ drive from town, offering panoramic views of the sea and the mountains. The nearby hills provide hiking routes with stunning sunset views and panoramas of Axarquía.
Coves, mountains, and the scent of citrus
The beaches of Torrox are long, sandy, and peaceful — great for families or quiet relaxation outside the main season. The promenade connects Torre del Mar with smaller coves and fishing ports. Just beyond the town stretch hills, olive groves, and citrus orchards, giving the area a charming rural character. The natural park Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama is close by, offering trails with sea views, tranquility, and diverse flora and fauna — ideal for hiking and cycling.
A white village with Roman roots
Torrox has a long history dating back to Roman times, which is reflected in archaeological findings and ancient structures. The historic center preserves traditional Andalusian white architecture — narrow streets, charming squares, and small churches such as Nuestra Señora del Carmen. The town is also known for its cultural events — Feria de San Roque, summer concerts, and local markets give visitors the chance to meet the locals and experience Spain in its most authentic form.
