Torrevieja is not a 'resort' and doesn't cater for the package holiday industry at all. It's popular with and suitable for couples, families and golfers alike

British, Spanish and other visitors come here to enjoy some of the best beaches and sunshine in Spain. In fact, there are over 24 beaches to enjoy from small coves to one over 20 kilometres long! Several beaches hold the prestigious Blue Flag award for cleanliness and most of them have fresh water showers and lifeguards

Torrevieja offers something for every taste. Peace and tranquillity through to a fabulous variety of restaurants and bars, some of the best ice cream in Europe and a few night clubs. It is home to some fantastic golf courses and is where one of the biggest street markets in Spain is to be found

Reknowned for its Orange and Lemon groves, fruit and vegetable farms, the food is always fresh and very cheap. Eating out is both an experience and a pleasant surprise when the bill eventually arrives

Whether you want a relaxing break or prefer to explore, the area has something for you. If your ideal holiday is relaxing on the beach by day and spending the evenings people watching you can. Alternatively perhaps you'd prefer to explore unspoiled villages or visit historic towns? How about a visit to the water park, some ten pin bowling, golf, tennis or horse riding, perhaps even go kart racing?

Every night pavement artists and craft stalls can be found on the promenade by the fun fair in Torrevieja where you'll find leather goods, pottery, jewellery and other bargains to haggle over. There's a market every day in the area and some fantastic shops if you need a little 'retail therapy'
