torrox is build up the mountains..so people with walking trouble wont find it too easy to get around as some off the streets are quiet steep. With soo many little streets i did get lost a bit, but after a while it was very easy to get around the place.
The remains of the Roman era are shown here.

Moorish plan - Trazado musulman

Like most of the villages in the region Torrox has Arabic origins with a labyrinth of narrow streets of white washed houses radiating up and out from the main square. Buy houses are neither as pretty as in Frigiliana and nor as traditional. Any way it worth a visit if you can deep yourself into a real Andalusian city.
Como la mayoría de los pueblos de la comarca Torrox tiene orígenes árabes con laberínticas calles estrechas de casas blanqueadas en forma desembocando en una plaza principal. Pero las casas ni son tan bonitas como en Frigiliana ni son tan tradicionales. De todas maneras merece una visita si quieres sumergirte en una verdadera ciudad andaluza.
Roman Necropolis - Necrópolis Romana
by spanishguy
There is a Roman Necropolis with thermal baths and a fish salting factory along the coast. The viewing of these sights has been enhanced thanks to the construction in 2003 of the glass balcony called Punta de Torrox (Point of Torrox) You can see the ruins through the glasses, but just if they're clean enough, of course!
A lo largo de la costa hay una Necrópolis Romana con baños termales y una fábrica de conserva de pescado en sal. La vista de estos restos se han facilitado con la construcción de un balcón de cristal en 2003 llamado Punta de Torrox. Puedes ver los restos a traves de los cristales, pero siempre que estos estén limpios, claro.
TORROX PUEBLO

"TORROX - I LIVE HERE!!!!"
Moved here to just above the village last November. Was not sure I would enjoy the bustle of the village but it has grown on me over the past eight months. I have made new friends and am now beside two of my oldest friends who actually live in the village.
We are encamped on a hill looking down to the village, the sea, across the valley and up to the mountains. Torrox is not so pretty, pretty as, say, Frigiliana but at least you still know you are living in Spain, despite many incomers. The local people are friendly and although there are not so many amenities, the village ticks. I can wander down to the Plaza and know I will meet someone, my Spanish has improved greatly due to having to stand at a shop counter and ask for what I want and everyone is happy to help with the words or pronunciation that I am lacking. All in all a fine place to put down roots and also grow some vines with the help of Manolo - un hombre bueno from the village.
