The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region
The Southern Costa Blanca is a sunny area to the South East of Spain. In view of the good climate all year round and mediterranean diet it is regarded as a healthy place to live. Along the coast where the property is situated is quite flat, however if you travel a short distance inland or to the north or south, the mountains provide a scenic backdrop. The historic town of Orihuela is well worth a visit.
In the local area there are fiestas every month from October - February and from May - August.
Torrevieja area / Los Altos area
Torrevieja is an old Spanish town which whilst not purpose built for tourism, has a great range of activities for the holidaymaker. There are numerous bars and restaurants and a long promenade for joggers or those who enjoy a pleasant stroll any time of the day or evening. There is a night market selling gifts and souveniers. The town centre contains many shops including clothes, shoes and holiday gifts and momentos.
Torrevieja is 41 kms away from Alicante to the north, 23 kms from Elche to the northwest, and 53 kms from Murcia in the southeast. It has a protected Natural Park with two salt lakes, and 20 kms of coastline containing six large beaches and about 20 coves with an abundance of cliffs.
Los Altos is a residential area about 6 km outside of the Spanish town of Torrevieja. The nearest supermarket is 2 mins walk and sells most things that you are likely to need. Via Park 3 is a leisure area approx 10 minute walk, with an English shop, bars and restaurants. The Emerald Isle offers fitness classes. If you prefer Spanish bars and restaurants these are also approx 10 minute walk and there are banks and a doctor surgery in this area. There is an hourly bus service into Torrevieja or you can get a taxi from outside the nearby supermarket in high season.
Two great restaurants which you should visit: Nautilus, which has an outside seating area right by the sea, ideal for relaxing over your morning coffee or for watching the sun go down with a glass of wine. Puccini - an excellent Italian restaurant, with quality food in a friendly and relaxed environment.

Guestbook
"Your bungalow was perfect for us, clean, tidy, everything we needed. Your welcome goodies were much appreciated too, especially when we arrived in the evening" Mr and Mrs Sims, Dorset
"In September 2006, we spent a week at Helen's bungalow in Los Altos. Booking was very straightforward and we arranged for Darren (Helen's contact in Spain) to pick us up from Alicante. Despite our flight arriving late, we still received a warm welcome, which was followed by a very informative car journey to the bungalow.
The bungalow is in a quiet location, within a short walk to a large supermarket. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, with a communal swimming pool just around the corner. Although the accommodation is within walking distance of local restaurants, shops and the beach, hiring a car would be beneficial." T Stevens & E Davison, Cambs
"Comfortable and clean, we felt 'at home' immediately. A lovely bungalow in a very pleasant & quiet area yet within easy reach of shops & restaurants. Our one regret was that we were only there for one week and we would definitely love to return again in the future" Mr & Mrs Mitchell, Southport
