Aldi Torrox is just next to the Lidl. It is actually directly opposite the bus station and the taxi rank, so ideal shopping if you are using public transport. Just a few minutes drive back to the villa. You can walk there, but a bit too far to carry heavy shopping back! Great selection of products at great prices.

Little gem of a cafe, next to the lighthouse, Avenida El Faro, Torrox. Fabulous food and cakes. We particularly love it for breakfast, superb fresh juices and smoothies. Equally nice for afternoon coffee and cake!

City/town information
Nerja is a pretty coastal town just 5 minutes from El Penoncillo. It has beautiful beaches, Burriana Beach being the largest, with a selection of restaurants, bars and chringuitos. The quaint streets are perfect for an evening stroll, with an abundance of tapas bars and restaurants to choose from. There are small boutiques and gift shops along the way and of course no visit to Nerja would be complete without a visit to the famous Balcon De Europa, the southern most tip of Europe. A stroll along the palm tree lined balcony offers incredible panoramic sea views. Take in the view whilst having a drink or a coffee, watch the world go by, have your caricature drawn, or enjoy a delicious ice cream alongside the glorious El Salvador church.
