35 Km. from Málaga, on the road to Almería, Torre del Mar is today one of the most famous torurist resorts in the Costa del Sol.This town also has its history, as shown by the Phoenician and Carthaginian Tombs which have been found at the mouth of the river Velez. These burials reinforce the theory of the old city of Mainake having been set here.

But let us not fly away with too much history and forget some other things which, though simple, are equally important.

Its four km. of golden sand offer all the necessary ingredients to spend some unforgettable days: hotels, restaurants, bars at the beach, discos, sport boats for rent, sport-fishing port with a daily auction of fresh fish; or, in case you don't fancy the sea, you can enjoy yourself at the aquatic park " Aqua Velis "

. Torre del Mar gives the visitor a wonderful show of light with the explosion of the fireworks during its typical procession of the Virgen del Carmen in the sea, on the 16th. July, and that in honour of Santiago from the 23rd to the 26th of July.

Within its rich gastronomy, it offers us dishes like the Holy Week ajo-blanco, the sopas cachorreñas, tortas, fried fish baked sardines, etc.
