Like most of other villages in region, Torrox has an Arabic origin. The architecture is typical -  a labyrinth of narrow winding streets of white washed houses radiating up and out from the main square.

Nowadays Torrox is a pleasant combination of old traditional Spanish life and the facilities expected by the modern day tourist. Despite it becomes more popular as travel destination in high season the village remain a calm and peaceful place. However its charm and close proximity to the coast has in recent years led to an increase in the number of overseas property owners.
