Velez Malaga

Velez Malaga is a busy little town which is just 5km from Torre del Mar. This traditional town is only a short drive from the coast and has developed its tourism industry slowly throughout the last decade.

Velez Malaga sits inside the peaceful valley of River Velez, filled with luscious gardens and tropical fruit trees. This area is famous for its agriculture, producing strawberries, sugar cane, olives and grapes. The world famous sweet Malaga Wines are made with the unique Muscatel Grape which is produced in Velez.

There are some beautiful churches within the town, these particularly appeal to those who have an interest in religion and history. The origins of the area go all the way back to the Phoenicians and Carthaginians.

This history-filled resort is ideal for families and couples who are eager to go out and sight-see famous monuments and discover Spanish culture and tradition. Many people visit here with a romantic interest for seeking ancient Greek city remains; however other tourists are equally fascinated by the retail and restaurant opportunities that Velez Malaga offers.
