Torekov (Script error: No such module "IPA".)[1] is a locality situated in Båstad Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 863 inhabitants in 2010.[2] It is still a fishing village but it is today known as a summer resort.
In August 1971 Torekov hosted a meeting in which it was decided to strip the king of all but his symbolic formal political powers, known as the "Torekov Compromise".[3]
The name
According to an old legend, the town is named after a girl later known as Saint Thora who was drowned by her stepmother, found on the shore of Torekov, and buried by a blind man who then regained his sight.[4] However, the more prosaic explanation refers to two old words thora meaning height, and kove meaning cabin or hut.[5]
