Information on Torrox Costa

Hi everyone, today iam going to talk about Torrox.
Torrox Costa is situated in the east of the Costa del Sol between Nerja and Torre del Mar. Popular with ex-pats who have made their home here with the cosmopolitain mix of other europeans. The sandy beach here is ideal and there are plenty of beachfront restaurants and bars. There are the Roman remains of a necropolis and villa just west of the lighthouse.

If you venture back into the hills behind Torrox Costa you will come upon the whitewashed town of Torrox where you will still witness the typical Andalucian way of life.

For a touch of the tourist life you can try Torrox Costa, a resort only some some 4 kilometres (2 miles) from Torrox with beautiful beaches, promenade, restaurants, shops, night life, tennis courts

Torrox has a busy festive calendar all the year round, its most important festival being from October 4th and 8th. The Fiesta de las Migas takes place on the last Sunday before Christmas, a festival in which visitors to the town can sample this exquisite dish accompanied by a glass of wine from the area and music and dancing in the streets.

Hasta luego

Nerja at New year

Hola bueno tardes everone, and Feliz Ano Nuevo (Happy New Year) hope you had a nice time .
As with much of Spain a really fantastic time time to visit is New Years Eve.
Due to the better climate The event is held every year outside at the Balcon de Europa .

We left our house just before the bells and made our way to the Balcon de Europa with our bottle of cava and 12 grapes. When we got to the Balcon with about half an hour to spare it was busy but the atmosphere was friendly with people bring boxes with champagne, wich is shared around.

On the square there was a outside bar with everyone buying cava for the bells and also buy a party bags that contained various party things such as hats and streamers. There was also a stage with traditional Spanish singers and musicains. Everyone was dancing from kids to granparents all having a fabulous time.

At 12 o clock it part of the Spanish culture and tradtion when the churh bells rings out 12 chimes of the New Year you eat your grapes on the chimes with your cava, this is actually a lot harder to do than it sounds. There was also excellent fire work display at the Balcon .

The next day we went out for a walk to blow away some of the cob webs of the night before cava and everything else we had to drink when we noticed that the place was spotless the champagne bottles and streamers and glasses were quickly cleaned up. I think that every one that made it along to new year celebrations will agree that Nerja council put on a great show highly recomened .

Hasta aluego amegos.
