Lifestyle in Torrox

Avslappnat liv i sol året runt. Stark tysk gemenskap som uppskattar klimatet. Genuint spanskt med internationell touch. Billigare än västra Costa del Sol.

Why Swedes love Torrox

  • The climate: Torrox markets itself hard as "Europe's best climate" and there's something to it (sheltered location).
  • The price: Significantly cheaper than Nerja (just 10 minutes away) and the western coast.
  • The calm: The pace here is slower. Many buy here and go to Nerja for dinners.
  • The promenade: Torrox Costa has a long, flat seafront promenade perfect for morning walks.

🤔Who is it NOT suitable for?

  • Those who want nightlife and parties (it's quiet here).
  • Those seeking a large Swedish community (Germans and Brits dominate here).
  • Those who want luxury shopping (you'll need to go to Málaga or Marbella).
