The natural gathering place in Torrox Pueblo is “The Plaza”. Grab a café solo, a drink and some tapas on a pavement café and soak in the atmosphere. If you like people watching; this is the place to be.
The first hotel is opening in 2008 in Calle Baja in the old Moorish part of the village. Torrox has managed to retain its white Moorish village structure and I haven’t seen a souvenir shop – yet. The tourists are here though; it just seems to be another sort of tourists.
Most visitors fly into Málaga, rent a car and drive to their holiday home either in the pueblo, at the coast or in the campo – the countryside around Torrox.
I like the way the smell of fried Sardines mix with salty sea-air on the beach restaurants and I love driving home through the mountains - waiting an eternity for the goats and the three-toothed goat man to clear the road, so I can pass. There is something very real about Andalucia …if not surreal.
Feel free to download "A Taste of Torrox" about a small Spanish village 65km from Malaga seen trough the eyes of a foreigner, who has lived there for seven years.
