At first glance the tall tower blocks may be off-putting to those who prefer a pretty village. However, Torrox Costa has so much to offer, you soon get over it! A long beach with wide promenade. Plenty of cafes and eateries. Shops and a bank. A weekly market. Great supermarkets. Everything is within walking distance. Good access for those in a wheelchair. Lovely climate, obviously. A calm and relaxed feel. Friendly. Very convenient for exploring this part of Spain. Easy parking on the whole. Nerja is just 15 mins away (due East)- traffic and parking is an issue there though (although there is a huge car park in the centre which helps and is reasonably priced). But good to have Nerja nearby for a stroll, and for a change of scenery. Also, Burriana Beach on the Eastern edge is the best for shops, restaurants and facilities and a pretty cove. Torrox village is just 10 mins away (head North). Great shopping at El Ingenio (The Factory) a large shopping centre in Velez Malaga - 20 mins due West of Torrox Costa. There are clothes shops, a cinema, a large supermarket, and plenty of parking (some shaded). The motorway will get you from A to B easily in this part of Spain. I recommend renting an apartment at El Penoncillo community - a group of nicely designed apartment blocks with pretty landscaped gardens and a gated community. Parking is easy on the road the encircles the flats. You can walk to everything in Torrox Costa from there, so you could actually manage without a car if you were staying local. Torrox Costa is about 50 mins drive from Malaga airport on the motorway. It can be a bit of a stressful drive as you leave the airport, just bear in mind. But worth it to have your own rental vehicle once you are in Torrox Costa. Recommend Malagacar.com at the airport for car rental.

The area and the promenade is wonderful, safe for walking and wheelchairs. Because it was January a considerable number of the restaurants were not open, however, 5 or 6 were & sufficient to have dinner every night. Lots of cafes to have food, coffee or a drink and enjoy the sunshine and the ocean view ( about 50 metres from the waters edge). Most of these cafes closed around 17.30 - 18.00 hours because of January, but during the main season period I was assured they stay open until very late. A number of smaller supermarkets for basics and a great big supermarket about a 5 minute walk away. There is a bowling tent, basketball court, exercise area, all free, something for everyone. Every Monday the Torrox market takes place in the same location with lots of food and every type of item or clothing you could imagine. Torrox Costa has a lot to offer

very quiet as we went off season, breezy but warm Torrox Costa and El Morche are apartments and hotels on the main beach road. There is no nightlife or things to do off season and very few places to eat. A small grocery shop is open for basics Lovely beach supermarket is a drive from El Morche The location is about 40 mins from the malaga airport

Location is excellent. Easy to get to using the bus from the airport. Lovely boardwalk far away from roads with no traffic noise. A selection of supermarkets close by and a lovely beach with fantastic sunset every day. Lovely selection of restaurants along boardwalk.

Torrox Costa is a well run municipality. It is clean, attractive, has an excellent bus service both local and along the coast, and good tourist office. Supermarkets are excellent and the choice of cafés bars restaurants and chiringuitos is large. The weather is very good and one of the things they promote with good reason. The beach promenade goes on for kilometers and is very accessible. The 'other half' namely Torrox Pueblo,with its Moorish history, is also attractive to visit for a more traditional Spanish experience. Of course the several sites of Roman ruins down Avenida del Faro and the Paseo Maritimo are a 'must see'.

We stayed in Torrox Costa for a few days to visit my brother. Torrox Costa is a good base for the area. It has good beach facilities and a good seafront with many bars and restaurants. The coast road runs through the town, but not along the seafront. The Autoroute is about a mile inland, which makes the town convenient to reach but not noisy with traffic. Torrox is not an upmarket resort, but a very relaxing place to pass a few days with good facilities.
