Torekov is a locality situated in Båstad Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 863 inhabitants in 2010.〔 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". 〔Torbjörn Bergman (1999).
