Torrevieja is a developing tourist centre and one of the most important on the Mediterranean coast. However, you’ll find it is not nearly as commercialised as the Costa Blanca resorts to the north of Alicante. It still retains that special “Spanish” feel and is in a relaxed environment.

The concentration of salt and the temperature, combine to endow Torrevieja and nearby areas with a particularly healthy micro-climate, recommended by doctors for its beneficial properties. Bathing in the salt lagoons is also becoming popular for many medicinal reasons. The weather in Torrevieja makes it an ideal location for year round holiday activities, especially if you want to fulfil that yearning for some sunshine during those dreary winter months in the UK.

Many people prefer the months when the weather can be near perfect: April, May, June, September, October and November.

At lunch times and in the evenings the area around the marina and it’s surrounding streets are a hive of activity, with many busy cafes, restaurants and bars.
