Parking available on Torrox coast, under one stipulation
Torrox, a picturesque town on the Costa del Sol, has reintroduced its blue zone parking system along its coast and historic centre. This system, designed to encourage responsible and fair use of public parking, is easy to navigate for visitors who follow a few simple rules.
To park for free in the blue zone, you need to use a parking disc to time your stay, as the blue zone is a regulated parking area. These discs, which indicate the arrival time, are available free of charge at various locations around Torrox. You can find them at the Torrox Town Hall, El Morche's Deputy Mayor's Office, the Multi-Use Building, Torrox Costa and El Morche Tourism Offices, Ferrara Beach Tourism Office, the Local Police, and local businesses such as Loterías Conejito, Locutorio Ferrara Costa del Oro, Supermercado Laguna, Souvenir Laura, Laguna Sport, and Cervecería La Azotea.
People with reduced mobility may park free and without time restrictions only if the reserved spaces for them are occupied. In this case, no disc is needed. However, an approved disability card must be displayed to be exempt from time limits and disc requirements in designated accessible spaces.
It's essential to verify local signage and obtain a parking disc early to avoid fines. Violating the parking rules in the blue zone, such as not displaying a parking disc, exceeding the time limit, tampering with the disc, or slightly moving the vehicle, can lead to a €50 fine or vehicle towing.
In the historic centre, the blue zone is active year-round with a one-hour parking limit. The operation hours for the coast are from 10am to 10pm Monday to Friday and from 10am to 2pm on Saturdays, excluding holidays. The blue zone on the coast is also in operation year-round, with specific hours as mentioned above.
The local police will monitor compliance to ensure the blue zone system operates smoothly. Make sure to park responsibly and enjoy your visit to Torrox!
