Saliendo de Torrox Costa por la antigua carretera que va dirección Nerja nos encontramos en el lado de la playa una curiosa figura de piedra que se asemeja bastante a una virgen.
Leaving Torrox Costa along the old road that goes towards Nerja, we find on the side of the beach a curious stone figure that closely resembles a virgin.
Según cuenta la leyenda, hace muchos años, unos marineros del pueblo les sorprendió un temporal y no podian salir del mar por la fuerte corriente y las enormes olas, entonces se le aparecio una virgen que los guio hasta la playa, conseguiendo salir justo en frente de esta la figura de la Virgen.
According to legend, many years ago, some sailors from the town were surprised by a storm and could not get out of the sea due to the strong current and the huge waves, then a virgin appeared to him who guided them to the beach, managing to get out right in front of this the figure of the Virgin.
A partir de aquel día, la gente del pueblo ha estado siempre haciendo ofrendas a los que ellos llaman como su Virgen de los Marineros, excavando huecos en la roca donde han puesto una imagenes religiosas, depositando flores y velas, y todo tipo de adornos.
From that day on, the townspeople have always been making offerings to what they call their Virgin of the Sailors, digging holes in the rock where they have placed religious images, placing flowers and candles, and all kinds of decorations.
