The village of Torrox has been able to maintain its typical Moorish architecture. Torrox Costa is the part of town that is situated directly at the seashore. It has its own "Balcon al Mediterraneo", a wonderful viewing balcony, overlooking Roman remains near the lighthouse. The open building gives the visitor the opportunity to admire ruins and remnants of the antique Roman commercial town "Claviclum" in all kinds of weather. The marvellous views over the deep blue Mediterranean Sea can be enjoyed after a days sight seeing. Torrox itself is also well worth a visit. The Old Town is about 6km from the coast. Its narrow winding lanes and the brightly white-washed houses allow you to immerse yourself back into Moorish times. A relaxed stroll through town is more than just a walk; it is more a feast for the eyes. Where ever you turn your head, you can find colourful flower pots that stand out of the bright white facades of the houses. The smaller houses particularly illustrate Moorish architecture. They can be found in many of the narrow lanes that often include the large steps, typical for this area of Spain . The church " Iglesia de la Encarnación", the monastry "Convento de Nuestra Señora de las Nieves" and the chapel "Ermita de San Roque" are also well worth a visit in Torrox. A unique collection of Roman busts decorate the canopies of the buildings on the central "Plaza de la Constitution". Many restaurants and bars invite the visitor to enjoy the delicious Spanish cuisine at the town square. Try "Migas", a local delicacy, made of roasted bread crumbs! "Aguapie", consisting of wine must and water, is also a local specialty, mostly consumed in autumn. Torrox is situated at the famous "Ruta del Vino" (Wine-Route) and all of its wines are of outstanding quality. Apart from cultural highlights in the Old Town , Torrox also offers endless, fantastic beaches. The beautiful promenade along the sea invites visitors for a relaxing evening-stroll or to enjoy dinner in a typical Spanish restaurant.
