Common questions about Vélez-Málaga
Vélez is the historic capital (inland), Torre del Mar is the harbour town/resort.
Since a lot of fruit (mango/avocado) is grown here, there may be more agriculture, but nothing bothersome.
A tram was built between Vélez and Torre del Mar, but it has been closed for years (a political issue).
It is less well-known internationally and lies east of Malaga (which has historically been cheaper).
