About the area

Why people love Vélez-Málaga & Torre del Mar

East of Málaga begins the Axarquía region, and its capital is Vélez-Málaga. The historic town lies a few kilometres inland with a Moorish fortress and an old quarter, while Torre del Mar by the sea has a long, wide promenade, beaches and a lively Spanish atmosphere. Here you live among Spaniards more than among tourists.

Prices are clearly lower than on the western Costa del Sol, and many new homes are being built along the coast. The landscape behind the town is full of avocado and mango plantations, and the mountains of the Axarquía are perfect for excursions.

Who is it for?

  • Value seekers – more home for the money
  • Authentic Spain – a Spanish everyday life all year
  • New-build buyers – several projects along the coast
  • Nature lovers – mountains, white villages and hiking
