The bustling coastal town of
Torrevieja is situated about 45 kms south of Alicante on the Costa
Blanca. An old fishing town with it's own harbour and fishing fleet is
busy all year round. You will find lots of shops, great restaurants, a
large selection of bars and nightlife.
Wander along the beautiful new Promenade of
Torrevieja and enjoy the atmosphere of the evening craft market or sit
at one of the pavement cafes and watch the world go by.
The Friday market is one of
the largest in Europe and you will find everything here from genuine
Spanish handicrafts, to low priced leather goods, shoes, textiles,
silver and a huge variety of fresh local produce.
The coast is lined with beaches of fine sand, providing a complete range
of beach activities. 7 of these beaches are EU Blue Flag beaches
providing clean and safe fun for all the family.
Torrevieja has an average of 320 days a year of sunshine. The World
Health Organisation recommends Torrevieja as having one of the
healthiest climates in the world. This is caused by the combination of
constant year round warm temperatures and the two huge salt lakes at the
edge of town, rich in minerals. The natural salt lakes dry the air,
therefore reducing humidity and producing a healthy atmosphere,
especially to arthritis suffers.
Torrevieja
has a superb selection of sports for the enthusiast, including sailing,
diving, tennis, bowls, athletics, football and a gymnasium. With several
Championship golf courses around Torrevieja, it is an ideal place to
relax and enjoy a golfing holiday. You can take a boat ride to the
island of Tabarca where you can scuba dive or sail along the coast. Boat
rides are available from the port of Torrevieja, as well as fishing
trips.
There are no package holidays to Torrevieja,
all properties in the area are privately owned villas and apartments.
