Torre del Mar, Coastal resort in Vélez-Málaga, Spain
Torre del Mar extends along the Mediterranean coastline with a beach promenade connecting numerous restaurants, shops, and accommodations at an elevation of 15 meters.
The settlement originated in the 16th century around the Alcozaiba Tower, a Nasrid castle that protected the coast and was later renamed Torre de la Mar in 1487.
The September Fair of Torre del Mar presents regional Andalusian traditions through local cuisine, music performances, and traditional dance celebrations.
The town maintains regular bus connections to neighboring municipalities, while offering a range of lodging options from beachfront hotels to residential apartments.
The waters off Torre del Mar witnessed the 1704 naval Battle of Vélez-Málaga between Franco-Spanish and Anglo-Dutch fleets, which ended without a clear victor.
