Plans to renovate and revitalise market
Torrox Council has started discussions with other administrations to develop a project to renovate and modernise the municipal market. The Councillor for Commerce, Lauren Salvatierra, says the new administration is keen to revive the traditional trade in the old centre and believes the market should play a significant role in this regard.

Re Market at Torrox Pueblo top car park;FINES AND CARS TOWED for parking on Market Mondays.
Would someone please please erect signage or print off leaflets to warn tourists and others that parking in red marked areas of this TOP CAR PARK on Monday mornings, or car left from Sunday night, leads to fines and cars being towed away. We fell foul of this law? and there are no signs erected as on Torrox Costa that we can see. Parking in this car park is very restricted on Mondays and we have been coming to Torrox Pueblo for 4 years on holidays and were slapped with a fine of 104.65EUros and THATS getting a 35Euros discount ! The Police at Torrox Pueblo kindly drove us to the pound to collect our Hire Car but it was a big chunk out of our holiday budget.SURELY SURELY OWNERS OF PROPERTIES THAT RENT IN THE AREA COULD ADVISE FOLKS RENTING THEIR HOUSES IN THE PUEBLO NOT TO PARK THERE ON A MONDAY. I didnt know there was even a Market in the Top car park as why is it necessary to have the Municipal Market every day in the Plaza AND on Torrox Costa on a Monday where there is signage to avoid fines and cars towed away, AND Torrox Pueblo Top Car Park on a Monday. This sort of arrangement will not endear folks to return to the Pueblo we felt very ripped off by this practice. I know it happens in France etc but I had hoped for better control in the Pueblo. A British couple we spoke to said we would get our car back and not have to pay a fee, cloud cuckoo land they are living in. Once we found our car had been towed away we knew we had to pay something to get it back. We have learnt our lesson please put something on your available websites to make sure other tourists dont get ripped off this way. Its a way of making money from tourists as we are the ones who dont know and are not told these ways of the village.Folks who rent out their houses are just as guilty, THEY know it goes on they just dont warn tourists who rent from them. Big Black Mark to you all !!
