Balcony of the Mediterranean

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Balcón Mirador del Faro de Torrox is an impressive viewpoint in Torrox Costa, located right next to the historic Torrox Lighthouse. From this elevated point, visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding coastal landscape.

Built at the beginning of the 21st century, the modern platform is made of iron and glass, and its shape represents the bow of a ship. Below the Balcón Mirador lie archaeological remains, which are visible through the glass floor of the viewpoint. Also located nearby is the Centro de Interpretación, an information center that offers visitors insight into the history of the lighthouse and the surrounding region.

Torrox Costa Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Already quite old.
The construction has rusted well, the glass floors are already a bit dull and the excavation point underneath has been reconstructed with pebbles, concrete blocks and mortar.

Very nice mirador that offers a beautiful view of the cliffs and the small beaches. Wonderful views, a great experience! Just take a short stop and capture the perspectives.

Virgen del Mar Memorial

Highlight • Religious Site

On the steep coast you can find this rock, on which a white miniature chapel stands. A few niches have been carved into the rock, in which, among other things, a picture of the Virgin del Carmen (patron saint of fishermen and sailors) is kept. People put flowers there, light candles and place small, inscribed stones on the rock. With the sea in the background and the view of the coast, it is a real eye-catcher. A point of attraction, it was very well attended.

Castillo del Búho

Highlight • Monument

This "Castillo" is actually very small, a miniature version of a fictional castle. It was lovingly built by a Danish resident of El Morches and is really worth seeing. You can see the attention to detail.
