Read More...What a peaceful, wonderful place. The views were so serene and relaxing, and the hiking in the area was the best, both up on the mountain (with incredible views to the lake and valley below) and also hiking along the lake from one village to the next. The location was perfect, and included the best of both worlds, since it was only 1 hour to Madrid, yet located in the mountains. Ester and Fernando were such awesome exchangers. They are the most interesting, helpful, kind and compassionate people. I look forward to their visiting us shortly and hope to maintain a friendship with them.

Our interest in wines was indulged and a great winery trip arranged in La Rioja. The houses were great and it was wonderful to be able to see different parts of Spain and enjoy village life. Ester and Fernando were so kind and hospitable.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Torrox es conocido por tener el mejor clima de Europa. Con una temperatura media anual de 18 grados, Torrox vive en una eterna primavera y se ha convertido en el ejemplo ideal del privilegiado clima de la Costa del Sol. Este clima privilegiado se debe al valle del río Torrox que, al estar abierto al mar, hace que las temperaturas sean más suaves, mientras que las montañas que lo rodean impiden la llegada de vientos molestos.
Con enclaves de interior y de costa, separados apenas por cuatro kilómetros, Torrox cuenta con un paisaje subtropical entre montañas que se mezclan con sus siete playas, entre las que destacan El Morche, Ferrara y el Peñoncillo la más proxima a la vivenda.
Los amantes de la historia encontrarán en Torrox muchos motivos para volver. El municipio atesora un interesante patrimonio en el que destacan el yacimiento romano del Faro y la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación.
