About Torre del Mar
Locally it is referred to as Torre. It grew rapidly from a small fishing village in the 1970s thanks to tourism, although not as explosively as in other coastal towns. It is a famous summer destination for Spaniards from Madrid, Jaén or Granada and to a lesser extent for foreigners, especially British and Germans. Despite its considerable size — over 22,000 people in 2018 — Torre del Mar doesn't have its own local government. Instead, it belongs to the municipality of Vélez-Málaga, a larger town located 4 km inland. There is a popular political movement which calls for the independence of Torre del Mar from Vélez-Málaga.
