The aqueduct of Roman origin built at the end of the 19th century was used for irrigation and to transport water to the sugar factory. It is still in use today, although it is only used for irrigation purposes.

⭐ Torrox

Highlight • Settlement

Torrox, located in the province of Malaga, Andalusia, is known for its slogan “the best climate in Europe”, with an average annual temperature of 18°C and more than 300 days of sunshine a year. The municipality is divided into two main areas: Torrox Pueblo, which preserves traditional Andalusian architecture with narrow streets and whitewashed houses, and Torrox Costa, which offers beaches such as Ferrara and El Morche, popular with residents and visitors. In addition, it has a rich historical heritage, including archaeological remains from the Roman era in the area of the Faro de Torrox. The local gastronomy stands out for traditional dishes such as migas, ensaladilla arriera and ajoblanco, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of the region. Torrox celebrates various festivals throughout the year, including the Día de las Migas, celebrated on the Sunday before Christmas, where you can taste typical dishes and enjoy cultural activities.

Torrox Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The lighthouse began to function in 1864. In 1905, the lighthouse keeper was a man named Tomás García Ruiz, who after studying, became interested in archaeology. He began to excavate around the lighthouse and discovered the ruins of what was the Roman city of Clavicum with its salt factories, which later served as a necropolis. Some hot springs and a pottery workshop where amphorae for salty products were made were also discovered. The Torrox lighthouse is the only one that is still in operation, so today it houses the Museo del Mar.

Nice and wide coastal road with beautiful views.

View of Salobreña

Highlight • Viewpoint

The N-340 is very busy in Motril and the asphalt is mostly not that good. The hard shoulder (like everywhere else) is full of grit and stuff that ruins the tires. I would avoid the N-340 here.
