How to Get There:
From any point on the Costa del Sol take the Mediterranean Expressway (A-7; N-340) towards Motril-Almería, or towards Málaga if you are coming from Nerja or Torrox. The old N-340 passes through the centre of Torre del Mar and from there to Vélez-Málaga, which is just four kilometres away; the route is practically like driving through a city and is very well marked. Likewise, the signs on the Mediterranean Expressway announcing the Vélez-Málaga access leave no room for doubt. |
