Guides

# 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.
