Torrox Aqueduct

Highlight • Monument

The historic town centre of Torrox is located in the hills with typical white houses, narrow streets and flower-adorned balconies. Here you can feel the authentic Andalusia. The modern coastal area offers sandy beaches, a promenade with restaurants and bars as well as tourist facilities.

Playa Casa Blanca seen from Sanantona

Highlight • Beach

A quieter and lesser-known stretch of coast around Nerja. This region is characterized by natural coves, often located away from the main beaches and less frequented. The beach consists of pebbles and sand, surrounded by rocks. The nearby river (although usually dry) shapes the surrounding area and provides a beautiful backdrop.

Calaceite Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Calaceite tower is a 16th-century watchtower that stands on a cliff about 40 meters high, on the coast of Torrox. It was part of the network of almenara towers that used bonfires to warn of the arrival of Barbary pirates. Today it is preserved on private land, so it can only be viewed from below. At its feet, the sea holds another treasure: the wreck of the Delfín, a steamship sunk in 1937 during the Civil War, today one of the most visited diving spots on the Costa del Sol.

Virgen del Mar Memorial

Highlight • Religious Site

On the steep coast you can find this rock, on which a white miniature chapel stands. A few niches have been carved into the rock, in which, among other things, a picture of the Virgin del Carmen (patron saint of fishermen and sailors) is kept. People put flowers there, light candles and place small, inscribed stones on the rock. With the sea in the background and the view of the coast, it is a real eye-catcher. A point of attraction, it was very well attended.
