Torrox were also unfortunately provided in the 70's and the 80's with the usual multistoried buildings, which surprisingly enjoy a very good reputation by the most of the residents.  Nevertheless Torrox Costa cannot be compared with the Adria or e.g. Torremolinos, because the number of multistoried buildings is still quite limited.  In the last 10 years one did very much for a "healthy tourism" and invested a lot of money into the townscape.  New, structurally very respectably houses and urbanisations arise, however these have at the most 4-6 floors.  In the two belonging together localities Torrox Pueblo and Torrox Costa live approx. 11,000 inhabitants.

At the long promenade there are dozens of restaurants and bars, which invite you to come in. Here most of Spaniards speak German and English in opposite to the inhabitants of the villages in the mountains.  Also in the months of July and August the beach is not hopelessly overcrowded. But those who prefer being calm,  should drive to Motril – very close to Nerja, where there are some beautiful, small, almost lonely beaches at which one can take a bath or relax

Torrox Costa is called the German village.  In opposition to the villages in the mountains or in Nerja, where most the foreigner residents are English, here the German language prevails.  Here one meets all age groups, however it is to be noticed that older humans feel here particularly well.  Even in supermarkets an assistant is proclaimed to help people in German language.
