just bought in Torrox Pueblo - got so many questions ! - Page 2
Hi I am looking at moving to torrox with my 2 children aged 8 & 10yrs. As I wish them to be immersed into Spanish culture, they will be going to a local state school. I shall be running a holiday let in the same area. Could anyone please tell me what it is like for children going to school in the area and what is it like to live in torrox. Thank you, louisa
you can take all your rubbish to the tip which is on the main road from the village down to the BP station on the right hand side. don't leave it in the street.

Hi there,
Welcome to lovely Torrox pueblo!

You can buy gas bottles from the above mentioned shop, also the ferreteria on the square and Paco's shop on Calle Baja. In fact, his shop is full of stuff worth checking out, including garden/terrace bits. He will deliver, too, he's really helpful with good prices.
The gas lorry comes on a Wednesday morning, from 8am onwards, depending where you live. Ask your neighbours what time, as they whizz by and are easy to miss. The gas men are also very helpful and will carry the bottles up stairs for you.
Rubbish collection is amazing, every night it's picked up and they take most things. There are many recycling points around the pueblo, a good excuse to wander around and orientate yourself.
On the costa, just by Sabadell bank by the roundabout, is a furniture and decoration shop with a range of soft furnishings, mattresses, and pillows. Of course, the Chinese shops have bedding but, not always the most contemporary of designs. As it's summer and you don't need so much on the bed, it's another good excuse to wander further afield, as Nerja has some shops with nice stuff. Malaga is chock-full of lovely soft furnishing places, too, and the city will reward many visits.
The costa has two charity shops, one on the avenue leading to the lighthouse, the other opposite Mercadona. They both have bed linen/curtains etc, and the second larger one has furniture, they will deliver on Thursdays. They also need volunteers to help with the dog rescue service they run, just contact TAIL or stop by the shops.
If you want to meet up for coffee or a copa, I'd be happy to do so.

I'm afraid not, no. They come every Wednesday morning, if you need a new one just be by your door when they go by and swap it 1 for 1.

I guess the only thing to do is watch out for whenever your delivery day is!
