Torrevieja: water all around

Sea, sand and sun

Of course, the micro climate of the Torrevieja area makes for beautiful weather all year round. And as we are on the coast, we do have the added bonus of nice, long, relaxing beaches. In town there are five beaches, Playa del Cura, Playa de los Locos, El Acequión and the Playa de los Náufragos in the centre. In the North part of Torrevieja you will find the Torrelamata beach which extends 32 kilometers, all the way to Alicante town.

Nature reserves

The Torrevieja area has numerous nature reserves within cycling distance: Parque Natural las Salinas, La Pedrera, Parque de los Molinos, to name but a few. A litle further out there are bird reserves where you can see our famous flamencoes by the hundreds. One example is the salt lakes in Santa Pola some 20 kilometers to the North. Another is San Pedro del Pinatar 30 kilometers South of Torrevieja. Here, you can spot hundreds of species of birds all through the year. Since the species change with the seasons, this could become a really time-consuming hobby.
