The resort of Torre del Mar on the Costa del Sol makes for a perfect spot for your holidays for some reason ignored and unnoticed by foreign Tourists and the Spanish have known and kept to themselves for years is that Torre del Mar is the perfect combination of a working seaside town and relaxing beach resort, neither aspect seeming to affect the other.
The resort is very much tailored to the Spanish, both residents and holidaymakers, and there is plenty of holiday accommodation available. It does have a couple of "British" Pubs and for that matter boasts two Indian restaurants but that is about as British as it gets. So if you are looking for all of those familiar home from home “treats" that seem to have infiltrated other resorts of this size then you will be sadly disappointed. However if you are looking to sample Spanish hospitality and a real feeling of being in a Spanish resort, then read on.
The most attractive point to Torre del Mar is its promenade Paseo Maritimo de Poniente and long wide sandy beach which seems to go on forever. Well at least as far as the neighbouring resort of Caleta de Velez 4 kms away. Torre del Mar is in a completely flat area which makes getting around very easy. Despite the town and beach sitting side by side it is well spread out and gives you the feeling of the two being separate
