If you’re planning on visiting Torremolinos and need tips on what to see, we highly recommend a visit to ‘La Casa de los Navajas’ a stunning building which has become one of the most emblematic in Torremolinos.

This unique mini-palace stands out as you walk along the promenade thanks to its ‘neomudéjar’ style architecture (Popular in Spain at the end of the 19^th century and start of the 20^th century) and Arabic influences. Building the house was the lifelong dream of its owner, Antonio Navaja Cruz, a local sugar cane farmer who built it in 1925.

Nowadays the house is considered a historic building and a tourist attraction which is also home to ‘Torremolinos Chic’, a photo exhibition commemorating the city’s past with the help of famous international stars and artists. Thanks to its singularity, the ‘Casa de los Navajas’ has become one of the most popular and requested venue for civil weddings.

Officially declared a building of historic interest in 1991 by the ‘Junta de Andalucia’ (Andalucian Government), the house comprises two symmetrical wings on a single floor, both joined by a central area on two levels and crowned with a small tower. Thanks to a recent renovation and refurbishment, the house is now decorated with furniture and designs inspired by Granada’s Alhambra Palace with its colourful tiles.

The great news is that the ‘Casa de los Navajas’ is no longer closed to the public on Mondays and Tuesdays. It’s now open from Monday to Friday at the following times:

Monday to Friday: 11:00am to 2:00pm and 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Entrance is now free since the Torremolinos Town Hall did away with the €2 entrance fee in an effort to encourage visits to this magnificent historic monument.

Please be advised that the town hall recommends that access to the building be through ‘Calle Las Mercedes’, although it will still be possible via ‘Calle Bajondillo’.
