Roman Necropolis - Necrópolis Romana

spanishguy Says: As I explained you on the intro page Torrox has two parts: inland and coast. The coastal area stretches for 3 kms along them there is a flat pedestrianised promenade. Starting at the lighthouse the promenade runs west along the entire length of the main beach, called Playa...
Hermitage and Convent of Our Lady of Snow
spanishguy Says: The Municipal Council, in the 17th century, asked to the Monks to open a religious Monastery in order to educate the local children. The Convent was expropriated during the disentailment of Mendizabal (the Spanish Minister who promoted it) in 1836 and then it was used as...
spanishguy Says: This 12th century tower was part of the Arab Fortress and it was linked with another ones by walls. It's very simple, with painted walls and battlements in the top. Currently it's the Tourist Information Office. Esta torre del siglo XII era parte de la fortaleza árabe y...
Our Lady of the Incarnation Church

Don't remember: Plaza de la Constitución
spanishguy Says: Plaza de la Constitucion is the very centre of Torrox and it's supposed to be the most lively area in town. In spite of this it was pretty empty when we was there, in November. The most modern cafeteria was closed and the traditional one was frequented just for retired men....

Getting a dress for the festival

Moorish plan - Trazado musulman
spanishguy Says: 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...
Small altars - Pequeños altares
spanishguy Says: There are some altars with Virgin images and small religious pictures of Saints in old town. They have been placed there by people who pray and who wish that other people will pray to them too and ask to any necessity. Anyone could look after this images putting here a...
spanishguy Says: Ok, it's not my fondest memory about Torrox, but it's not a thing to do too. The Town Hall is a modern (not classy) building at Plaza de la Constitucion, next to Our Lady of the Incarnation Church. If you need to make any official issue you can contact it. Vale, este no es...
Plan your stroll - Planea tu paseo
spanishguy Says: It's very easy to find your way in Torrox one time you have reached Plaza de la Constitucion. There's one big city map showing you four differents routes to visit all the monuments in town. In addition there is a local tourist information office at the Arab Tower, not far...
