Torrox

Consolidated as the fashionable destination on the coast of Andalusia, This Tourist Municipality perfectly combines its leadership in traditional sun and beach tourism with an inland offer that is number one in rural tourism. The municipality offers the traveller a suggestive contrast between the tourist avant-garde and its deep historical and cultural roots.

Its maritime strip is notable for nine spectacular kilometres of award-winning beaches, where the archaeological site of Caviclum emerges next to the lighthouse, a unique Roman heritage in the community. As a perfect complement, its inland historic quarter protects a valuable architecture of churches, chapels and watchtowers on the coast, forming a scenario where tradition, leisure, sport and a rich agriculture go hand in hand.

'The best climate in Europe'

Backed by a rigorous scientific study that proves its perfect thermal balance, Torrox's famous slogan is a proven reality all year round.

This exceptional condition is due to a strategic geographical alliance: the natural shelter of the Sierra de Almijara and the influence of the Mediterranean Sea, a unique combination that reduces the thermal amplitude and offers mild winters and mild summers, with an average annual temperature of 18°C. Far from being a mere advertising brand, this privileged climatic ecosystem has become the main driving force of the destination.

Thanks to this microclimate, Torrox breaks the seasonal nature of tourism and allows travellers to enjoy themselves to the full. both its nine kilometres of coastline and its rural and active offer 365 days a year.
