Climbing towards the skirt of the hills for a 4 km way flanked of cultivation abancalados, one gains access to the Torrox town where the whitewashed walls, the balconies brimming with flowers and flowerpots, and the narrow callecitas of ancient name, denounce his Moorish origin that goes back at least a XIth century.

His central square, call of the Constitution, is a common place and of natural convergence of streets and you present yourself, it presents an agreeable aspect: source luminous, tiles, gardens... Around him the life is centralized of the Town, with his market and his bars where it is possible to savor them covers and the proper wine of the ground.
