Torrox is a charming town in the foothills of the Sierra de Almijara Mountain range, with one foot in the mountains and on the beach.
Torrox is a beautiful, quiet, white-washed village about four kilometres inland from the Mediterranean coast, in the popular region of the Costa del Sol (but just on the border of the Costa Tropical).
Torrox boasts 9km of coast which feature sandy beaches, coves and scenic landscapes. The area is known for the relaxed and laidback lifestyle that habitants enjoy. Torrox has a bit of everything.

Torrox is split between Torrox Costa (by the sea) and Torrox Pueblo (inland) which offer varying experiences.

Torrox Pueblo clings to the hills under the Sierra de Almijara Mountain range and has an authentic Spanish feel.
