Torrox has pure traditions among the customs of Andalusia and of the
Axarquía region of Malaga. As in the rural villages, its celebrations
are related to the year's seasons. In spring, the Easter is celebrated,
with austere but emotional processions.
On 3rd May, the Cruces de Mayo (Crosses of May) are made in many houses.
They are a sort of step altar where flowers and many ornamental objects,
especially mirrors, are put. Besides, the walls are decorated with garlands
and shawls.
On 13th June, the patron saint San Antonio is celebrated in the densely
populated neighbourhood of Ntra. Sra. De las Nieves, with a country
party and with three days of fair in Torrox.
