Algarrobo is a Spanish municipality in the province of Malaga, Andalusia. Just under 40 kilometers from Malaga Airport heading East. It is south of Arenas and Sayalonga. It is bordered by Velez-Malaga to the east and west and by the Mediterranean Sea to the south.

Its main centre of population is Algarrobo, a town of Arab architecture located 3.5 kilometres from the coast. Other towns in the municipality are Algarrobo Costa, Mezquitilla and Trayamar.

A bit of history about the attractions of Algarrobo:

Its origins date back to the Palaeolithic period.  But its first prehistoric settlement of which there are documents is from the Copper Age.

The Phoenicians also passed through here because Phoenician necropolis have been found. They are also the most important Phoenician remains found.

With the arrival of the Muslims to the Iberian Peninsula the area resurged and they founded Algarrobo. The Arabs introduced crops such as raisins or almonds and small silk industries.

In 1487, when the Christian troops took the city of Velez Malaga and the fortress of Bentomiz, Algarrobo became the crown of Castile.

The Main Attractions of Algarrobo are:

  • Ladeada Tower of Arab origin.
  • Hermitage of San Sebastian, dating from the seventeenth or eighteenth century. In 1976 it had to be reconstructed in the image of the previous one, due to the danger of collapse that it presented.
  • Church of Santa Ana, XVI century. Hermitage of Las Angustias, located at the exit of Algarrobo Norte. In spite of not being an architectural jewel, in the municipality it is very loved, and all the brides of the village will take their bouquet of flowers there.
  • Torre Derecha (Right Tower) or Torre Nueva (New Tower), of Christian origin, both in Algarrobo Costa.
