A little south of Alicante you will find the old fishing town of TORREVIEJA. Among it’s welcoming and attractive features are the many magnificent white beaches, squares, walks, parks, gardens, and natural beauty spots.
An all-year round town, TORREVIEJA has it’s own harbour and small fishing fleet, and because it is not a resort in the true sense of the word, it does not cater for the package holiday industry. However there are excellent facilities in the town and surrounding areas - not least the countless superb restaurants, tapas bars, and shops. Near to the marina and port are superb fish restaurants specialising in catch of the day. There is also a wonderful indoor market which offers a tremendous selection of fish, fruit, meat and vegetables throughout the year.

There are beautiful fountains, plazas and historic churches and promenades throughout the town to provide cultural interest. The wooden benches and lighting along the coastline and man-made lagoons for swimming in the summer months makes the promenade a very spot.
A causeway between the sea and the harbour has proved immensely popular with residents and visitors alike providing a fantastic stroll with an uninterrupted view of the sea. Disabled visitors have been well catered for also, with specially constructed ramps and platforms.

There are 3 excellent hospitals in TORREVIEJA, the newest and biggest being San Jaime, with state of the art facilities. There are also private and national health clinics, and many doctors and dentists of all nationalities. TORREVIEJA is served by a frequent, highly efficient bus service, both locally and to all parts of Spain and Europe.
