Torrox is a municipality in the Malaga
province in Andalusia, Spain. As of 2004 Torrox has a
population of 12,000 inhabitants and an area of 50.49
kmē.
Torrox is a
sizeable village some 4km inland from its coastal
offshoot and not without charm.
Historically, Torrox reached the height of its
prosperity during the Moorish period due to its pivotal
role in the silk trade between Granada and Near Eastern
cities such as
Baghdad and Damascus.
The centre is very pretty with brilliant white-walled
houses clinging to the steep slope on which the town is
built.
Back on the coast, Torrox Costa is a popular coastal
strip, particularly with holidaymakers who flock here
during the summer, with a choice of hotels and
accommodation available.
Torrox Costa is is also the site of the remains of a
Roman necropolis and villa located immediately west of
the lighthouse.
Our houses are situated
outside the town on the other riverside of the Rio
Torrox.
From our houses you have wonderful views on the sea,the
village and the mountains of the Sierra Almijara.
