Algarrobo, situated just 37 kilometres east of Malaga. It has four urban nuclei: Algarrobo Costa, Mezquitilla and Lagos on the coast, and Algarrobo Pueblo 4 kilometres inland and 85 metres above sea level. It lies within the area of Axarquia, on the scenic Route of Sun and Wine, and has a residential population of 4,600 which increases with tourism along the coast during the summer months.
Algarrobo Costa, once a fishing village, is now mostly dedicated to tourism with high rise appartment blocks along the sandy beach. Mezquitilla and Lagos however, are still unspoilt sea-side villages with colourful fishing boats stranded on the sand. The coastal road is dotted with watchtowers built in the 16th century for defense over the beaches. There are two of these at Algarrobo, the Torre Ladeado and the Torre Derecha and another at the small coastal village of Lagos.
Algarrobo Pueblo retains a Moorish white village structure with attractive narrow streets bedecked with flowers, plants and splendid panoramic views. The Rio Algarrobo meanders through the village where horses are often found grazing on the banks. The parish church of Santa Ana dates from 1505 although the current building was built in the 17th century. There is a large, attractive, tropical park in the village next to a large village swimming pool and tennis courts.
