The feel

Torrox has two faces: the white village of Torrox Pueblo, inland on a hillside, and Torrox Costa on the long beach below. The coast has a promenade, a lighthouse and a string of chiringuitos, while the pueblo has narrow streets, a church and a strong local community. The municipality is known for its microclimate and for being one of the more affordable stretches of the eastern coast.

Why consider it

A village and a beach in one municipality
A long, accessible coastline
Good value compared with the central coast

The property

The coast is apartment-led, with townhouses and villas in the hills; the pueblo is resale and renovation. New-build supply is moderate, with more on the coastal edge.
