Local Attractions
Torrevieja lies some 47kms from Alicante, the provincial capital, and about 35kms from the airports of Alicante and Murcia (San Javier).
Torrevieja is located along the coast in the South of the Valencian Community. It is famous for its two large natural saltwater lagoons known as “Salterns of Torrevieja”. These saltwater lakes are considered the largest in Europe and are also famous for their large flocks of flamingoes.
The town square is very picturesque, with a small church and street cafes. There are many shops of all kinds to explore and the harbour and new marina are not to be missed. Day trips to Isle of Tabarca can be taken and other boat excursions are available.
Sitting at one of the town's harbour or beach side cafes with a glass of wine and watching the sun go down cannot be beaten.
Once the sun has gone down the street traders set up their stalls and the harbour front becomes a craft market and every Friday there is a huge street market - possibly the largest one in the Costa Blanca.
Torrevieja boasts one of the best Yacht Clubs in Spain. Watching the yachts and boats of all kinds come and go in the busy harbour and marinas is a great way to pass the time.
There are tennis and golf clubs, a flying club, a horse-riding school, a municipal sports centre and for the winter months an Olympic-sized indoor pool. There is also a water park (Aquapolis), fairground, theatre, 10 pin bowling centre and multi-screen cinema.
