The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region
Situated next to the sea in the South of the Valencian Community, is surrounded by two large natural saltwater lagoons which form the well known “salterns of Torrevieja” considered the biggest in Europe. They are famous for their huge population of flamingoes. Torrevieja is 47kms from Alicante, the provincial capital, and about 35kms from the airports of Alicante and San Javier, it stands out for it’s conversion in recent years into a first class tourist centre.
The town square is very picturesque, with a small church and a few street cafes. The are many shops to browse through and boat trips can be taken from the town’s lively harbour -a firm favourite is the day trip to the Isle of Tabarca. Each evening there is a craft market along the harbour front and every Friday there is a huge street market - possibly the largest one in the Costa Blanca.

Torrevieja area / Los Locos area
Some of the best beaches can be found close to town, including Los Locos and Playa Del Cura. Along the front of Los Locos beach there are bars and restaurants with more bars throughout the back streets. There are butchers, fishmongers, spit-roasted chicken shops, bakeries and supermarkets, all providing mouth-wateringly fresh bread, pastries, fish and meat produce. A few of the local restaurants also offer a takeaway service.
Just a five minute walk away from Los Locos Beach is the totally pedestrianised promenade and beach of Playa Del Cura, where you can happily watch the children on the beach whilst having a nice relaxing meal in one of the promenade based restaurants at the same time! You will find that most of the restaurants in Torrevieja are very child-friendly and understand the “joys” of dining out with young children!
From these two beaches, you are within easy walking distance, all the way along the seafront, of the lively town centre of Torrevieja where you will find street markets, a marina and harbour, resident fun fair, buzzing nightlife and an extensive new promenade. There are restaurants and bars which cater for all tastes. The main meeting place in town is usually at the main fountain overlooking the beautiful marina, where you can enjoy a morning coffee or an evening cocktail or two!
Every evening there's a street market selling a variety of arts, crafts, clothing, leather goods, jewellery and souvenirs etc.). There's also a big fairground and you'll normally find various artists and street performers providing entertainment around the town in high season.
There is always something going on in Torrevieja around the holiday periods and there are numerous festivals and processions.
One of the biggest festivals of the year is the "Habaneras" international music contest which takes place in August. Torrevieja swings for a week to the soulful rhythms of the melodies brought back from Latin America in the late nineteenth century when the town's salt trade with Cuba was at its peak. The festival attracts a live and television audience of hundreds of thousands of people. It's a great time to holiday here…but book your accommodation well in advance!
Unlike many Spanish destinations Torrevieja is not a holiday area dominated by souvenir shops and bars offering all day English breakfasts. The town is still a working town with a history of salt production and an active fishing industry. Currently a comprehensive landscaping plan is underway which includes the construction of numerous parks, a health spa, safe bathing areas and coastal walkways.
In the unlikely event of you not finding enough night life in Torrevieja, then why not head up the coast to the 24 hour city of Benidorm. In Benidorm there's all night partying of every kind throughout the year. Whether you're into mega discos, the gay scene, karaoke or ballroom dancing, you'll find all this and much more in big, brash Benidorm! Why not experience a night in the famous night spot Benidorm Palace ?
You can either use the special summer night train from Alicante - this runs to and from Benidorm all night throughout the summer months stopping at all the major resorts between the two cities.
