Torrox

Torrox has two parts Torrox Costa (coast) and Torrox Pueblo (village).  Torrox Costa stretches alone the coast taking in El Morche.  The beaches are broad and very long and have no coves unlike Nerja.  There is a very nice promenade with many bars and restaurants along it, and is just as nice in the winter months to walk along or just sit at a bar and have a coffee.
Settlement around  Torrox goes back to the Phoenician colonisation, there is  an important archaeological site here the Roman town at El Faro, known as Clavicum.  This settlement dates back to the 1st - 4th centuries.  There are Roman baths, ovens and dwellings.
The old part Torrox Pueblo is slightly inland and has many old buildings, at the top of the village there is a Plaza surrounded by bars and cafes, also a Municipal market selling fresh fish, meat and land produce.
