Practical on the day
Torrox is generally accessible by car, but be aware that road closures and parking difficulties are very likely in the immediate vicinity of the festival on this specific day due to the large number of visitors. It is advisable to arrive early or consider parking further afield and walking. Food and drink, especially the migas, are a central part of the celebration. Given it's the last Sunday before Christmas, the weather can be cool, so dressing in layers is a good idea. The festivities typically build up in the morning and continue lively through the afternoon.
