Spanish Sea Side Town Torrevieja Costa Blanca Spain

Torrevieja started life is an old fishing town, situated 25 miles from Alicante and 60 miles south of Benidorm. The World Health Commission designated it the healthiest area in Europe, as it is surrounded on three sides by sea and two large salt lakes. The town itself has four golf courses, five bowls clubs, two aqua parks, a marina and a prom several miles long. Most important, there are no tourist hotels, hence no lager louts. The area has about ten days rain per year.

On Fridays the town centre of Torrevieja is transformed into a colourful market place with about 1,200 stalls. Every week you can find an astounding array of bargains, genuine Spanish handicrafts, leather jackets, gloves, bags, textiles and souvenirs
