Torrevieja

Torrevieja is a lovely coastal town approximately 30 minutes south of Alicante International Airport and some 20 minutes north of Murcia Airport. Because Torrevieja is an old fishing town, with it´s own harbour and small fishing fleet. It is not a 'resort' in the package holiday industry. Those activities take place much further to the North.The shops, bars and restaurants of the town are open all year round, to cater for a population which is either resident in the area, or enjoying a stay in a holiday home owned by themselves, friends or relatives

Torrevieja has a fabulous range of facilities, apart from it´s wonderful shops, tapas bars, restaurants and it´s incredible indoor market, which offers a tremendous selection of fish, fruit, meat and vegetables throughout the year. There are four magnificent 18 hole Golf Courses locally, and a number of Marina´s which boast some of the most beautiful craft to be found anywhere on the Mediterranean.

Torrevieja and it´s surrounding area has some of the most beautiful beaches to be found in Europe. These beaches have earned a staggering 'Sixty-seven' European 'Blue Flags' and they vary from secluded sand dunes with magnificent pine-wood picnic areas to long flat sandy beaches extending for many kilometres. As we move to the south side of the town these beaches change to breathtakingly beautiful secluded sandy bays overlooked by towering cliffs. Torrevieja also has two exciting, fun filled Aqua Parks and is served by a frequent and highly efficient bus service, both locally and to all parts of Spain and on into the rest of Europe.
