Torrevieja, Spain is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the province of Alicante. It is about thirty miles south of the city of Alicante within the area of Spain known as the Costa Blanca, or “The White Coast.” Torrevieja and Pilar de la Horadada are in the most southern tip of the Alicante province before you enter the province of Murcia. The nearest airport to Torrevieja is the Alicante International Airport, or called the Altet, which is the main airport for this area. It has great flights from all over the world, and especially for those flying in from England. If you were to use car hire services once you arrive at the airport, reaching your hotel or accommodation in Torrevieja should only take you about thirty minutes. The highway N-332 heading south will take you to the city, but if you prefer not to drive there are busses available to take you to Torrevieja as well as other towns and cities. Some hotels even offer an airport pick-up service. Of course, the taxi is always an option if you prefer not to drive yet still want to enjoy the scenery on the way to your hotel.

Leaving Torrevieja on the highway C-332, you will find that you are heading toward the Natural Park of the Lagoons of the Mata. If you want to visit this park, it is highly recommended that you get information and book a date to visit in advance since only thirty-five people are allowed at a time. The most interesting fauna are the birds such as the stone curlew, diving birds, storks, eagles and avocets. Salt baths, which became popular in the 19th century, are another great treat you can partake in while at the park. They are recommended for some illnesses such as arthritis as well as skin diseases.

Though Torrevieja itself has a lot to offer and plenty to do, it is also well worth your time to take an excursion up the Costa Blanca and visit Santa Pola outside of Alicante. You can then travel to Benidorm for a day of theme parks, or to the towns of Altea and Javea. Of course, you cannot miss the beautiful beaches of the Costa Blanca. Enjoy a day soaking up the sun, enjoying the warm water and beautiful surroundings at Torrevieja and so many other cities along Spain’s eastern coastline. Make the most of your vacation experience.
