Torrox holidays - Costa del Sol
Everything to satisfy the holiday hedonist
Tranquil Torrox is probably one thing you believed didn’t exist – a quiet, laid back holiday location on the Costa del Sol. But it’s real, alright, and you can escape to its totally natural charms on a package holiday or all-inclusive holiday from The Co-operative Travel. In fact, after a few days here, it’s so easy to forget just how close you are to the likes of Malaga, Torremolinos and Marbella.
Torrox is really two villages – the Mediterranean Sea-hugging Torrox Costa, and Torrox Pueblo, just a few miles inland. The lower-lying of the two, Torrox Costa, is a relaxed beach resort with a promenade that’s home to many great little restaurants specialising in regional dishes. While up in the foothills of the Sierra de Almijara mountains, Torrox Pueblo is a maze of narrow, winding streets climbing through olive groves and vineyards.
Its position on the old silk route from Granada to the near East meant that Torrox was once an important – and well protected – stopover point.

beach holidays in torrox
The beach is the premier reason to come to Torrox, and your stay here is likely to revolve around one of the Costa del Sol’s finest stretches of beach. Its two-mile length is Blue Flag-accredited for its cleanliness, and just made for stretching out on, like a giant golden carpet.
Pavement cafes and restaurants are just a beach ball’s throw from your lounger and there’s an excellent assortment of shops and department stores all ready for you to flex your plastic in.
Up the hill in Torrox Pueblo is where the weekly markets can be found, where stalls peddle the local handicrafts made of lace, leather and wood.
A night in Torrox might typically start with a stroll to its white-painted lighthouse, passing the ruins of a Roman villa on your way. And to end a perfect day, why not pick a table at a cosy little restaurant and indulge yourself in genuinely local food and wine?
