Torrevieja
Torrevieja
The bustling coastal town of Torrevieja is 45km south of Alicante. With shops, restaurants, bars and night life, this harbour town is busy all year.
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, with seven of these beaches being EU blue beaches providing clean and safe fun for all the family. Torrevieja also has a huge selection of sports for enthusiasts including sailing, diving, tennis, bowls, athletics, football and a gymnasium.
Torrevieja has an average of 320 days of sunshine per year and is promoted as a town with one of the healthiest climates in the world due to its constant warm temperatures and rich in mineral salt lakes (World Health Organisation). The natural salt lakes dry the air, therefore reducing humidity and producing a healthy atmosphere, especially for arthritis sufferers.
