Torrevieja is a municipality in the province of Alicante, community of Valencia, Spain. It is a seaside destination on the Costa Blanca (White Coast).
Torrevieja is around 50 kilometres south of the city of Alicante and had an official population of 105,000 in 2012 which decreased to around 85.000 in 2016. (The actual population is considerably higher than the census due to the number of unregistered foreign people living in the area.) The town began originally as a salt-mining and fishing village located between the sea and two large salt lakes (Las Salinas). It is this which caused the World Health Organisation to praise Torrevieja’s microclimate as one of the healthiest in the world.
The local economy has grown rapidly over the years due to the tourist industry and the construction boom of the early 2000’s. As well as Spanish residents, there is a strong contingent of British, Irish, Germans and Scandinavians, many of whom live there all the year round. There are also many Spanish people who have a second home in the city which results in a population of some 300.000 people during the summer months.
This part of Spain’s Eastern coastline offers a wide array of activities for visitors seeking both relaxation and adventure. With its vibrant culture, rich history, and beautiful beaches there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Playa del Cura and Playa de los Locos are two of the most famous beaches in Torrevieja, offering golden sands and crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. The promenade along the beaches is ideal for a leisurely stroll, with cafés and bars where you can enjoy local delicacies or enjoy a refreshing drink with a stunning sea view.
The beautiful pink and white salt lakes from which the town was born should also mentioned. They are home to a diverse range of bird species, making them excellent spots for birdwatching. The flamingos are particularly spectacular. The surrounding natural park offers scenic walking trails, ideal for hiking and photography.
