The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region
The Costa Blanca is an area of natural beauty situated on the south east coast of mainland Spain and offers one of the best and most extensive ranges of tourist amenities in the world through the quality of its services, its excellent climate and its cultural richness. Flanked by mountains and an overall diversity in terrain there is much to see and do from blue flag beaches, mountain trails, islands and nature reserves, to authentic Spanish villages as well as more cultured choices including a mix of established and recently regenerated museums, galleries and sites of great historical importance.
All of the Valencian coast beaches are controlled by the European Community which sets quality levels for the swimming areas. The most prestigious award is the European Clean Water Blue Flag, which means that the beach has achieved an optimum level for swimming and recreational activities. The Valencian coastline has 94 blue flag beaches, several of which are in Torrevieja, such as Los Locos beach, El Cura beach, Los Náufragos beach and the Royal Nautical Club.
The numerous Costa Blanca areas for leisure and entertainment has been further enhanced by the opening of Terra Mitica near Benidorm, one of the most modern and attractive theme parks in Europe.
Cuisine is another major draw, with an array of affordable local & international restaurants serving a mixture of dishes. Fresh fish is a major delicacy (similarly to many coastal areas), but meat also features prominently.
The Costa Blanca is well known for its mild climate & enjoys sunshine for in excess of 320 days per year. The sun is at its hottest during the summer months, with temperatures rarely falling below 30°C (86°F). Winters are typically very mild with averages hovering around 18°C (64°F).
Torrevieja area / Playa Flamenca area
Torrevieja is about 60km south of Alicante, 25km north of San Javier (Murcia) airport and is a beautiful little province town, built around a traditional fishing village with typical Spanish character with it's fountains, squares, churches and numerous restaurants, where you experience the real Spanish life not only during cultural and folklore activities, but every day on the beach and at the market places. The town also boasts the largest yacht harbor on the coast. It has in recent years grown to be one of the most popular and important centres on the Mediterranean sea for residential tourism. No "package" tours come to this area.
Torrevieja's seafront offers a lot of restaurants, tapas bars and street cafes on the very wide promenade which popular for the “Spanish evening stroll”. If you simply wish to relax and soak up the rays, then head for one of Torrevieja's sandy white beaches which have been awarded the EC's "Blue Flag" status so you can ensure safe bathing and quality recreation facilities for you and your family.
Torrevieja has a micro-climate which marks it out from other neighbouring towns being delightfully warm in winter and not too hot in summer. The proximity of two salt lakes of Torrevieja and La Mata (designated as National Nature Parks with over 250 different bird species sighted here), work in favour of good climatic conditions and with the pure air, the dry climate and the wholesome effects of the salt lakes, the region has been recently identified as one of the healthiest areas in the whole of Europe.
Torrevieja and its surrounding areas play host to three prestigious golf courses, where both national and international championships are held. A total of 54 holes, covering an area of 1,700,000 m² give shape to the Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor golf courses. The International Sports Harbour Marina offers the chance to practice different water sports, along with several hundred high quality berths.
Playa Flamenca is in the area of Orihuela Costa, is less than a 10 minutes drive south of Torrevieja and is on the main bus and taxi route. It has a very multi-cultural feel as many people from other countries now live in this area and actually outnumber the Spaniards! This area is a favourite for British and Irish ex-pats. Consequently, the shops, bars and restaurants in this area originate from many nationalities to provide food to suit all tastes - from the native Spanish to Italian, French, German, Chinese, Indian, Korean, Scandinavian, Argentinian, Hungarian and Mexican cuisine.
The Flamenca Beach Commercial Centre is the largest in the area with about 60 bars and restaurants and nearby are familiar supermarkets such as Lidl, Aldi and Supercor – the “Harrods” food hall of Spain. There is a large popular market every Saturday morning within 100 yards from the apartment complex.
The EU Blue Flag beaches at Playa Flamenca and La Zenia have vast expanses of golden sands and there are jet-ski’s, a banana boat and pedalo’s in the summer months, as well as the usual “bars on the beach”.
Close by is the Celtic Isle Irish entertainment centre with own swimming pool, bars and restaurant and the Orihuela Costa Resort, where there is a magnificent pool with large sunbathing terrace and loungers, extensive lawn area, tennis courts, basket ball area and gymnasium available for a small charge and pool bar and restaurant.
It is also only a 10 minute drive to the golf courses at Villamartin, Campoamor and Las Ramblas.
A car is recommended to get the best out of any area but if all you want to do is relax, take in the sun and have a meal and a drink in the evening, either within the apartment complex, or in the nearby commercial centres, it is not essential due to the numerous facilities within walking distance.
