About Torrox

Just 45 minutes’ drive along the coast from Málaga, Torrox is a pretty whitewashed town just a few kilometres inland of the Mediterranean. Once a key stopping point on the silk route between Granada and the cities of Damascus and Baghdad, it’s now a sleepy community offering striking ocean views from its hillside setting. Tranquil and intimate, our pick the best places to stay in Torrox reflects the friendly, laid-back feel of the town itself. It’s a rare spot to hide away on the Costa del Sol!

Amble through the narrow streets of the town, join locals for a tipple in the square, or tuck into flavoursome seafood at low-key eateries. Venture to Torrox Costa, the town’s coastal counterpart, for beach days, swimming and sandcastle-building, or to visit the remnants of a Roman necropolis. Culture aficionados will also be fascinated by the Nerja Caves, a five-kilometre network with carefully preserved paintings dating back 42,000 years.

If you’re looking for outdoorsy adventures, the Sierra de Almijara mountains are your best bet. Criss-crossed with hiking, horse riding and mountain biking trails, this is a beautiful part of southern Spain. Return to the best places to stay in Torrox for superb Spanish cuisine and a glass or two of the good stuff.
