Located in a wonderfully picturesque area of Andalucia, Tolox is a small but beautiful village that has maintained a way of life that appears stuck in another age and time…that is, until a youngster speeds past on a moped and reminds visitors that while the architecture and stillness in the air could be from any decade, the preferred mode of transport for teenagers in Tolox is very ‘now’.
Located close to the Sierra de las NievesNaturalPark, Tolox’s wild and rural setting makes it an unmissable stop-off for tourists hoping to experience the very best scenery and wildlife that Andalucia has to offer. However, that is not to say that Tolox is a tourist trap, far from it; the village has pretty much been overlooked by mass tourism, a fact that has helped it retain its charm, character and low-prices – the excellent restaurants and tapas bars are extremely well-priced. The pretty cobbled streets and amazing scenery combine to make this one of southern Spain’s most attractive undiscovered gems.
