Around Torrevieja

One of Spain's most important sea side locations, Torrevieja boasts a stunning beach and promenade. The traditional harbour and beautiful fishermen's cottages are also features not to be missed.

Torrevieja is steeped in history with a newly built Museum of Culture two minutes away from the apartment.

The beach at Torrevieja has been designated 'safe' and regularly has life guards on duty. Swimming is a pleasure whether it is from the sandy sections of the beach or amongst the rock pools and coves which are plentiful along this coastline. Lounging in the rock pools is an idyllic experience- natural jacuzzis!

Nightlife is excellent.There are bars and clubs for younger visitors and many seafront restaurants and cafe bars for families, couples and senior visitors. The area is very flat and, therefore, ideal for anyone with mobility problems.

Children will love spending long days on the beach, visiting the nearby water parks and making the most of the funfair in the evenings. Children are made extremely welcome in Spain and Torrevieja is no exception.

Shopping in Torrevieja is an experience not to be missed! Markets offer exceptional bargains and high class boutiques offer items you will not find in the UK. Traditional food shops offer sampling opportunities. Red wine and salami is a particular favourite-all for free!

If you feel like a change of scene at some point during your holiday, the town's bus station provides buses which will take you to Guardarmar, Alicante, Murcia and even Barcelona and Madrid! Taxis are also available to take you on shorter journeys, although most of Torrevieja's attractions can be reached on foot.
