Guides

The directory answers which business. These guides answer the questions that come before that one, and they are the ones people actually arrive with.

If you are visiting

• Torre del Mar in one day, an itinerary on foot from the beach to the old sugar factory chimney.
• Where to eat, and separately where to eat espetos, which is the local dish and has its own rules.
• What to do, by season rather than by list.
• Sleeping cheaply, which here is mostly a question of when you come.

If you are staying

• Renting, and why long term and holiday lets are two different markets with two different sets of paperwork.
• Buying a home, including the costs nobody quotes you in the asking price.

And one about the town itself

La Azucarera, the old sugar factory whose chimneys you can see from most of the town, and which explains why Torre del Mar exists in the shape it does.
