The Casa de los Navajas is an architectural gem located in the heart of Torremolinos, facing the sea and very close to El Bajondillo beach. This palace, in Neo-Mudejar style, is one of the most emblematic buildings in the municipality and a must-see for those looking to discover the historical charm of the Costa del Sol.
In this guide, I'll tell you about its history, interesting facts, how to get there, what to see nearby, and why Casa de los Navajas is an essential stop if you're wondering what to see in Torremolinos.
The Casa de los Navajas was built in 1925 by the Navajas family, one of the most prosperous in Torremolinos thanks to their connection with the sugar industry.Inspired by the architecture of the Alhambra in Granada, it combines Neo-Mudejar elements such as horseshoe arches, decorative tiles, and ornamental details that evoke Andalusian architecture.The building stands on a small cliff overlooking the Mediterranean and El Bajondillo beach, giving it a special charm. Its interior preserves glazed tiles, horseshoe arches, and carved wooden ceilings that reflect the taste for Andalusian art of the era.Currently, Casa de los Navajas functions as a cultural space, hosting exhibitions, civil weddings, and concerts, which has contributed to its preservation and enhancement.
The exterior of the Casa de los Navajas is decorated with exposed brick, artisan ceramics, and ornamental details inspired by Nasrid architecture. Each window, balcony, and arch features careful symmetry that evokes Andalusian palaces.
Inside, the main hall stands out, decorated with Andalusian tiles and carved wooden ceilings. It is one of the best examples of the bourgeois taste for Arab aesthetics in Malaga in the early 20th century.
The balcony on the upper floor is probably the most photographed spot in the building. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of El Bajondillo beach and the Torremolinos coastline.
