A Small Guide to Torrox by Dorte Holm Jensen - HTML preview

What to do in Torrox

A walk in the narrow steep and winding streets of the village isa must! Yes, you will probably get lost – but hey you can always find your way to the Plaza…otherwise; just ask.

There are plenty of possibilitiesfor small excursionsfrom Torrox Pueblo.

Sunday isthe perfect day to visit Acebuchal – the lost city, or “Pueblo el Fantasma” – the city of ghosts. Driving out of Torrox on the old Frigiliana road you will witness a breathtaking view - over-looking the Nerja Coast and the Mediterranean Sea. Acebuchal has just recently come to life again after being abandoned for 50 years. There is a very atmospheric bar/restaurant in the village where you can enjoy a meal of Wild Boar…or maybe just a tapas and a drink – while you soak in the ambience of Acebuchal.(Driving directions)

The whole area around Torrox invites walking – just remember to bring water and a mobile telephone.

Driving up towards Compèta you pass the only bar / restaurant, the Pavo Real, in the area between Torrox Pueblo and Compèta. A few 100 meters winding road further you will see something looking like a parking lot, locally referred to as “the helicopter pad”, to your right –

that iswhere the National Parkbegins.
