Torre del Mar is the capital of the Axarquia region with a population of about
20,000 and is located on the eastern part of the Costa del Sol, approximately 40
km from Málaga city and 4 km from the town of Velez-Malaga.
Although Torre del Mar is very close to the city of Velez, the town is still
able to offer relative peace and tranquillity.

There are unsubstantiated claims that Torre del Mar once formed part of an
ancient Greek settlement known as Manake which is believed to have been
destroyed by the Carthaginians, prior to the arrival of the Romans; tombs of the
Carthaginians were found at the mouth of the river Velez.
More recently it was a small fishing village until major development began in
the 1970's.These days the town is better known for its four kilometres of sandy
beaches lined with restaurants, bars and apartments.
The population in the summer months swells as the tower blocks and nightlife are
at full capacity with both Spanish and other nationalities holidaying in the
area. In the winter the true character of the town reappears again and it almost
reverts back to the fishing village that it used to be. However, this may not be
for long, as the number of winter visitors is steadily increasing each year.
The infrastructure and amenities of the town have kept up with demand and
catering for all the visitors is not a problem. There are numerous bars,
restaurants, hotels and even an international school.
At the seafront end of Paseo de Larios is a line of bars and discos known as El
Copo, which comes alive Friday through Saturday nights and attracts crowds from
far a field.
One of the resort's most pleasant features is the extended esplanade; this
follows the coast to reach the Marina of Caleta de Velez which has over 200
berths and offers sailing and a variety of other water sports.
The Costa del Sol is aptly named – the sun makes an appearance almost every day
and temperatures range from a mild 8ºC in the winter to a very pleasant 30ºC in
the summer, consequently outdoor activities play a huge part in our lives, from
the more energetic pursuits such as sailing, swimming and golf to the very
popular relaxing pastime of eating and drinking!
Enjoy a plethora of
sports facilities and a dynamic range of culinary delights available in the
wide selection of fantastic
restaurants and cafés in every town and city on the Costa del Sol!
Culture vultures are certainly not forgotten. The magnificent historical cities
of Sevilla, Granada, Córdoba and Jerez are only a pleasant day trip away. Who
could visit the Alhambra in Granada and not be impressed! Conversely, North
Africa is an hour’s boat ride across the strait from Algeciras – Morocco,
Tangier, Casablanca - names to fire the imagination.
Enjoy ‘Costa Living’ to the full! Experience the vast cultural heritage of
Andalucía: fairs, festivals, castles, cathedrals, equestrian shows, bull-fights,
fine wines, electrifying flamenco music and dance and much more…
