Camino de Torrox - Sierras view

Palo Borracho (Ceiba Chodatii) on Paseo de Larios

Highlight • Natural Monument

The white-flowered drunken bottle tree (Ceiba chodatii) is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the tropical and subtropical forests of South America. It is notable for its succulent, swollen trunk covered with spines and its buttress roots. The name palo borracho ("drunken tree"), which is common in Paraguay and Chile, is derived from the distinctive growth form of the trunk. The Argentinian name palo botella ("bottle tree") also refers to the same characteristics. - The genus Ceiba is closely related to the baobabs (genus Adansonia) in Africa and Australia, which also have quite unusual trunk shapes.

Torre del Mar Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Playa de Torre del Mar is a beautiful, spacious beach, with a wide promenade and many chiringuitos where you can take a break and enjoy the sea view. The Paseo Marítimo de Torre del Mar is very well developed, relatively wide and ideal for cyclists and pedestrians. There is a designated cycle path that stretches along the coast, so you can cycle along the sea in a relaxed manner.

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.
