Two thousand years of history

The Romans were the first ones to leave their mark on the Torrox coast, where still remain ruins of a village, baths, necropolis and a ceramic factory. Referred to with its actual name in the Arab books of the XIth century, the Moorish occupation left its trademark in the town’s layout, its narrow inclined streets, it whitewashed walls and a symphony of flowers and pots.

You can still admire parts of the old walls and towers of the castle where Almanzor was born and the coastal watch towers of “El Morche” and “Caleceite”. From the Christian times are the Our Lady of the Snow and Saint Roque hermitages and the impressive Our Lady of the Incarnation church, built on top of the old mosque and rebuilt in the XIXth century. Remains of the Saint Joseph’s hospital (XVIIIth century); as well as the “Perez” mill and the “Santa Rosa” sugar mill; and the majestic mansions of “La Moneda” (XVIIIth century) and of “La Hoya” (XIXth century), where King Alphonse the XIIth, used to stay, are whitnesses of an active and eloquent past.

A tradition always present
Torrox is a town of deep traditions and multiple festivities. The austere but emotive Holy Week and Corpus; The Crosses of May; the patron’s festivities of Our Lady of Snow ans Saint Roque (August 5th), Güi’s Fandangos; “La Candelaria” with its traditional pyres in the mountain farmhouses (7th and 8th of September); the local fairs of Torrox (October 5th) and El Morche (August 15th); the Saint John’s Night (June 24th) and the world known festival of the “Migas” (last Sunday before Christmas), are moments of gathering where you dance and sing, try their traditional dishes and taste their local sweet wine, still made the old artisan way.

Torrox-Costa lies in contrast to Torrox-Pueblo direct on the 9 km long sandy beach. It is a popular holiday resort for English, Spanish and German tourists where are a lot of international institutions (restaurants, shops, medical center). The beach and the water are so clean that the European Union has award Torrox-Costa repeatedly the Blue Flag. The very long promenade with its countless bars invites to go for a stroll in the evenings. But also on both sides of the main street, which leads through the long village, several shops, supermarkets and restaurants take care of comfortable shopping and diversion.
