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.
