A small Andalusian town, where you will find a supermarket. At the entrance to the town you can see a chameleon - it is not by chance, because the Axarquía region is the only place in Spain and one of the few in Europe where you can observe these curious animals in their natural environment.

Camino de Torrox - Sierras view

Highlight • Trail

This section offers choice between the quiet rural road and the unpaved but even quieter farm roads and trails in parallel. Either way the views of the Sierras towering to the East are stunning

Torre del Mar Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The original lighthouse was built in 1864, but due to coastal erosion and other problems, it was rebuilt and relocated several times. The current lighthouse was finally built in its current position in 1976 after several moves.

The Torre del Mar lighthouse is not only a functional part of coastal navigation, but also a popular destination for a tour, especially at sunset. The lighthouse is a fine example of the combination of modern technology with the traditions of seafaring along the Spanish coast.

Playa del Varadero

Highlight • Beach

Playa de Varadero is located at the western end of the Torre del Mar seafront, near the mouth of the Vélez River. A special feature of Playa de Varadero is the regular presence of jábegas, traditional Andalusian fishing boats, which can often be seen along the coast. Overall, the stretch of beach is a lovely destination for anyone looking to spend a relaxing day by the sea in an authentic atmosphere.
