Welcome to the BEACH on Costa del Sol!
Our condo apartment is located on a cliffside directly on the Mediterranean Sea along the beautiful sandy 1.5 mile long Penoncillo Beach. Our third floor unit is a spacious, modest condo where you can have fun in the sun, enjoy a leisure walk on the beach, watch a beautiful sunset and at the end of the day relax in the comfort of your own home.
Our four building complex has an enormous pool, tennis court, landscaped gardens with roses and green all year long. The Beach is at the foot of the complex driveway.
Our balcony is blessed with an unobstructed 140 degree view of the Mediterranean Sea.
We have one double bed and a double pull-out sofa bed.
There is free Wi-Fi on our beach for customers at El Ancla restaurant-bar.
Condo has: fully equipped retro style (complete with peg leg cabinets) kitchen with refrigerator, three point cooker with oven, microwave, electric orange juicer, electric kettle, electric coffee maker, electric toaster; clothes washer; pantry; broad and spacious balcony for dining at its 4-person table, sunning, horizon and beach watching; decorative Andalucian-style fireplace; linens and towels supplied; multi-channel cable TV including CNN.
We have a quiet Andalucian location and named our place "El Refugio" for the solitude it comfortably provides.
Yet, just a few minutes away are the Costa del Sol tourist facilities and fast times we all enjoy during a beach holiday. We are 6 minutes from the Torrox exit of the Malaga-Nerja super highway, a 2 minute drive (20 minute walk) from the growing tourist restaurant and shop area of Torrox Costa, 40 minutes from the Malaga airport, 1.75 hours to the fabled Alhambra at Granada and year round snow skiing above it, 2 hours drive to Gibraltar, and 2.5 hours to Tarifa and Algeciras for the ferries to Morocco. We are within day trip range of Malaga (birthplace of Antonio Banderas and Pablo Picasso) with its great cathedral and Picasso Museum, the great cathedral at Seville, the Moorish mosquita-cathedral at Cordoba, and cliff hanging Ronda with Spain's oldest bull ring.
There are excellent hiking trails in the seaside hills directly behind the condo. Walk high enough and find the avocado and almond groves and be rewarded with terrific views of the Sea and to Nerja, Torrox and beyond. Some say Africa may be seen on extremely clear days. The Nerja Tourist office near the Balcon will, if you ask, give you for free a hiking trail map; the stamina-requiring trail up the Rio Chilar from Nerja to a pool with waterfall is particularly good.
Guests from Stockholm wrote the following about their stay at El Refugio, "In July we spent two wonderful weeks. Resting on the bed in the sleeping room, we could see the Mediterranean Sea very close and day and night we could hear the waves rolling on the beach. Fishing boats searching for shoal and shellfish could be seen during our breakfast and dinner on the balcony. The temperature in the apartment was comfortable although the temperature outside was 35 degrees Celsius, and it was pleasant to be able to take a swim in the big pool or go down to one of the beaches seen from the balcony. Penoncillo Beach showed to be a good start for traveling around in the region. The mosque in Cordoba is really worth a journey! So we are looking forward to another holiday in Andalusia."

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Here we are! We searched high and low for a photo and finally found one showing us engaged in a favorite activity: travel, this time by train. Shelley is an educator for special needs children, now teaching in a university setting. Bill, an attorney, fell in love with Spain during a working visit many years ago. To be able to sit on our balcony and view the beach and sea and listen to the sound of the birds and waves is a wonderfully relaxing experience we look forward to every morning that we are here. We are very happy to share our little piece of Heaven with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Adios, Bill
Why the Owner Chose Torrox-Costa
We discovered the property while walking along the beach during the vacation of our wedding year and bought it later on our son’s birthday. We've always loved our idea of a basic Spanish holiday place on the seafront, but with the reality of life (work) we just don't use it enough, and it's crazy to leave it empty. Our place comes ALIVE with people, and as they say: "places gotta be used"! Our hope is to share our home with people who understand and appreciate it. The biggest compliment we could have is to hear that you want to come back next year!
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium/Apartment
Torrox Costa is the perfect place – possessing the “best climate of Europe,” warm and dry in summer, extremely mild winters with oranges on the trees, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea and life. There is so much to see and do here. The problem will be fitting everything in! You'll tour, meet new people, hike, shop, soak, roast and sigh. Eat from seaside restaurants, sleep like babies. Food tastes better here, and you'll find yourselves going to bed early because you're exhausted, and getting up early because there is so much you want to do! And our sunrises and sunsets are primero.
