Torrox is located only 7 km from Nerja and consists of 3 villages - Torrox Costa, Torrox Pueblo and Torrox Park. The best climate in Europe is said to be found here in Torrox. This is because the river Torrox opens up to the sea, making it cool in the summer and the mountains around keep the strong winds and bad weather away so it does not get too cold in the winter either. The area has over 320 days of sunshine per year. The climate in this part of Spain is subtropical and a lot of fruit is grown in valleys and on mountain slopes. Torrox Costa is located along the coast and has several nice beaches and a lovely long beach promenade were you can enjoy the sunset. Along the main street of the village you will find shops and on Mondays also the local markert. Turn off the main street, one block down you will find the beautiful beach promenade Paseo Maritimo, which goes from the lighthouse El Faro to the neighboring village El Morche. The promenade is lined with restaurants. The two villages Torrox Costa and El Morche are about to grow together. In a couple of years when the new production projects on the beach are finalized, it will only be a riverbed that separates the two villages. Torrox Pueblo is a cozy little Spanish mountain village, convienently located close to the coast, offering Spanish village life, narrow alleys and beautiful views. Here is the white houses climbing on to the hillside slope. The town ́s bigger square has bars and restaurants and a big church. On the smaller square you find an old church from the 16th century called "Iglesia o ermita de San Roque".
