Photos of contemporary witnesses from Torrox-Costa
How it all began | The Torrox story.
From 1960, through the 80s to today.
Time in flux?
Time does not change, but times do change.
In 1970, the Bremen-based construction company Bau Hoffmann
to establish a striking settlement with the construction of the apartment blocks in Torrox-Costa. It quickly developed into the largest German colony on the Costa del Sol, because:
the marketing strategy was ingenious!
Advertisements were placed in German newspapers and off they went.
Potential buyers were motivated to purchase residential real estate with viewing trips to the show apartment next to the Torrox lighthouse.
Flight costs were reimbursed for the purchase of an apartment.
The Laguna Beach urbanization was built at the end of the 1970s . The entire construction phase was only completed more than 20 years later. After that, people had to move to the hinterland. This was followed by Torrox Park, which is very popular today. There is no end in sight to the construction activities. Today there is at least one estate agent’s office in every block or urbanization.
