Torrox conquers Hamburg

TORROX’S tourism industry has taken Germany’s second city, Hamburg, by storm with a visit to promote the beauty spot.

Authorities including Torrox mayor, Óscar Medina arrived in Hamburg on Monday, March 6 in a prelude to their visit to the ITB tourism fair in Berlin.

Torrox has been making a name for itself on the world stage, in a country that is responsible for some of the largest numbers of visitors to the town. As Medina arrived, he gave an interview joking that thousands of people from German cities were currently enjoying beautiful weather in Torrox, wearing t­shirts while snow fell in Germany.

“Tourism generates wealth in Torrox, as well as fostering bonds of friendship,” added Medina, emphasising the strong connection between the two destinations. Medina was also proud to visit a local shop named after Torrox in the German city! This visit marks a significant achievement for Torrox, which has been building its relationship with Germany since the late 1970s. Now, with a growing number of Germans choosing Torrox as their go­to destination, the town is quickly becoming known as ‘Southern Europe’s Little Germany’.
