Torre del Mar
It is a modern city with a continuous growing which offers to visitors the comforts of its modern infrastructures (shopping centres, cinemas, variety of restaurants, bars and pubs, etc.) along with its scent of fishing village. Looking at the Mediterranean Sea it has been witness of numerous civilizations as Phoenician, Roman and Arabian civilizations, and from all of them it keeps a typical taste, the Andalusian heritage.
Torre del Mar is one of those tourist treasures, which are not yet overcrowded, hidden by the Costa del Sol. It is an amazing place, with urban and crowded dark sand beaches, but not overcrowded.
It has a tourist offer with a wide range of beaches, restaurants where to taste excellent fresh fish, leisure places as shopping centres, cinemas and bowling alley, sports, and outdoor activities with the possibility of going for a walk through nature spaces or going for a bike ride.
In any case Torre del Mar is a different tourist destination. Besides, it belongs to the Axarquía region consisting of 32 towns to be visited and all of them have something special regardless of its nature.
Torre del Mar has two historical spots. One of them, its walls – defenses (S. XV) intended to the defense of the area from foreign invasions and pirate attacks which in the eighteenth century witnessed the battle of the French and Spanish troops against the Anglo-German troops. And the other historical spot, its lighthouses (the old one and the new one), the old lighthouse came into use in 1861 to warn the bay sailors and it was replaced due to the urban progress in the 70's by the new lighthouse whose scope is 12 miles and its height is 28 meters.
Axarquía
Our camping is located in the Axarquía, a region at the most eastern zone of the province of Málaga (Spain), touching the limit with the province of Granada. This region stretches through the coast and the interior of the region, and its seaside towns make up the Eastern Costa del Sol. Its capital and most relevant city is Vélez-Málaga. And the residents of this region are called "axárquicos".
Its villages are picturesque places which know how to maintain the light, colour and beauty of their streets and squares, their monuments and local festivities which along with its environmental and weather characteristics invite to be visited. The lands of the Axarquía are like a small Málaga: mountain, valley and coast.
Vélez-Málaga
It is just 4 km away. Vélez-Málaga, apart from being the capital of the Axarquía, has a unique charm which lies in the unbelievable combination of coast and interior, sea and mountains. In the 70's due to its architectural quality, this city was declared Historic-Artistic Site. Vélez archaeological sites prove the existence of Phoenician and Roman settlements in the current township, although the main city centre was founded around the tenth century by the Andalusian Arabs, who named it "Ballix Malaka". The sea, the orography and the geographical location of the Vélez River's basin determine the microclimate of the city, which is characterized by the mildness of its temperatures, with an annual average temperature of 18 degrees and 2,935 sunny hours per year.
The Easter Week of Vélez
The Easter Week of Vélez, which has been declared as being of National Tourist Interest, provides the visitor with a unique experience, 18 brotherhoods carry the images of their Christs and Virgins into a procession through its historic city center and they envelope Vélez-Málaga in a scent of wax and incense and so they recall the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ through its streets.
The Museo Cofrade (Brother Museum) is a cultural facility that has managed a balance between the traditional Easter world and the modern museology, and all this make it a point of reference for the interpretation of this religious festivity.
Nerja
Just 20 km away from our camping we find Nerja, the most eastern village of the Axarquía region. Nerja has a long history proved by the paintings found inside the famous Cave of Nerja, discovered in 1959.
Under the Muslim kingdom it was named Narixa which means «plentiful source» and which is the origin of its current name. Between 1979 and 1980, the famous Spanish TV serial "Verano Azul." was filmed in Nerja.
In the centre of the village we find the Balcony of Europe, a viewpoint which provides visitors with impressive views of the sea. The name "Balcony of Europe" was proposed by the King Alfonso XII of Spain who visited the area in 1885 after a disastrous earthquake and who was captivated by the scenario.
Coves of Nerja
The Cove of Nerja has an area of 9,371m² aimed to tourist visits. It is a National Monument consisting of a rocky formation of crystalline dolomites originated more than 250,000 years ago, and one of the oldest sites of the Solutrean culture of the South of Spain.
