Although Torrevieja is one of the most important tourist centres on the Mediterranean coast, it is not as commercialised as the Costa Blanca resorts to the north of Alicante, and it still retains a 'Spanish feel' and a relaxed environment.
The town is enveloped by two large and beautiful natural salt water lakes, which form the Salinas de Torrevieja and are an official Spanish nature reserve, attracting a wide range of healthy birdlife. Additionally, bathing in the salt lagoons here is becoming popular for many medicinal reasons.
The surroundings of Torrevieja are full of historic-artistic monuments, like the Casino, a modernistic building famous for its mozarabic style lounge. Other interesting structures and areas include: the Eras de la Sal, an ancient salt yard where the popular Habanera and polyphony festivals are celebrated; the Roman pier at La Mata; the Silleria Bridge in the Acequion; and the Archipriestal Church. Additionally, Museum of Salt and Sea is interesting.
Torrevieja is one of the fastest growing towns in Spain, and is best enjoyed along with the nearby beach resorts of La Mata and Guardamar. In these three areas, there are no high-rise skyscrapers or package holiday hotels. La Mata and Guardamar have some of the best beaches in Spain, and are just a few minutes from Torrevieja. You can also find good beaches at Los Locos and Los Naufragos along the coast of Torrevieja town.
The marina at Torrevieja is a relaxing place to stroll and have lunch. In the evenings, this area and the surrounding streets are a hive of activity, with a plethora of busy cafes, restaurants and bars. There are also many shopping opportunities and an excellent indoor seafood market here. Every Friday morning one of the largest street markets in Spain can be found on Avenida de las Habeneras. Torrevieja is also famous for its many fiestas, with the largest being the Habaneras Festival, an international music contest, in August.
Torrevieja is ideally situated for daytrips around the area. Alicante is just 47kms away, while Cartagena is 55kms away. The charming city of Murcia is 46kms away. Farther afield, visit the metropolises of Barcelona (570kms) or Madrid (445kms).
Torrevieja is on the Costa Blanca, roughly halfway between Alicante and Murcia. The town is about 30 to 40 minutes by car from Alicante’s El Altet Airport or Murcia Airport. Flights from London take about two and a half hours.
