Torrox

The village, sheltered by the Sierras of Tejeda and Almijara, offers the traveller the contrast between the traditional image of such areas and the adaptation to the new times.

This municipality offers two different areas: on the one hand the villagelocated a few kilometres from the coast in the upper part of the valley of the river of the same name and which conserves the typical physiognomy of the white villages of Arab origin and whose main activity is the modern agriculture of greenhouses and subtropical products. On the other hand, its line of coast destined for sun and beach tourism, with abundant hotel facilities and clean, well-kept beaches. In this area there is a lighthouse in the vicinity of which there are important archaeological remains from Roman times.

For decades Torrox has had the slogan 'The best climate in Europe'. This particular situation is due to the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, which reduces the thermal amplitude; and for the shelter of the Sierra AlmijaraThis combination means that the temperatures in Torrox are moderate in both winter and summer. With mild winters and mild summersThe average annual temperature is 18° Celsius.

However, this reality is not just a slogan: a climate study, carried out by a specialised company, showed that in Torrox all the factors for a balanced climate are fulfilled. That is why, it is possible to enjoy both the beaches of Torrox and its rural scenery all year round.
