The city Torre del Mar with its 20.000 residents is located between Malaga and Nerja on a coastal plain at a wide bay of the Mediterranean Sea and is surrounded of agricultural areas. Because of this
special situation here the climate is very good, in winter mild and in summer rather hot, but through the light wind of the sea it is pleasing. The climate is damp - like everywhere near to the sea -, but is a
low-precipitation area. 320 sunny days per year say enough for it !
Torre del Mar is approx. 30 km east of Malaga City and distinguish itself through the miles of wide, sandy beach, which make the little town the ideal holiday resort.

Along the beach passes over many kilometers the promenade of Torre del Mar
(it is reputed to be the longest of Europe), which is well-kept and nice decorated with tropic trees and flowers. The views from here onto the Mediterranean Sea and the white houses on the hills and mountains are spectacular. A walk on the wide promenade is not only a pleasure for visual effects, but also, because there are

various attractions for children. And it goes without saying that scores of bars, ice-cream parlors and restaurants on or next to the promenade invite to have a snack or a drink.

Torre del Mar has countless restaurants and bars, where you can relish perfectly meals of fish, seafood and meat.
In summer evenings this town is very lively. You take a stroll on the promenade or through the Paseo de Larios, a pedestrian precinct in the centre, street traders offer knick-knacks or art objects, the
bars and restaurants are much-frequented. The life starts at 11 p.m. here !

For the younger generation it is worth to visit “El Copo”, an approx. 500 m long row along the promenade street, where innumerable, colorful bars stand wall to wall.

Every Thursday a large weekly market takes place on the Plaza de la Paz at the Calle Infante. The mere hustle and bustle is worth a visit !
