Torrevieja in
Spain is around 36 kilometres from Murcia Airport and is about 30 minutes’
drive away. In the other direction it is 50 kilometres from Alicante Airport.
The city is right on the coast and has over 20 kilometres of beautiful white
sandy beaches with lifeguards, children’s play areas, showers, first aid posts,
and toilets. The harbour area is full of restaurants many of them serving fresh
fish which is straight off the fishing boats.
Torrevieja
literally translates as Torre Vieja, which means the Old Tower, and used to be
a tiny fishing village (like many of the towns on the Costa Blanca) but it has
witnessed a huge explosion in size and population in recent times – most of
which is from the huge numbers of people moving to Torrevieja from Northern
Europe or buying holiday homes in the area.
The town is
surrounded by salt lakes which are a natural habitat for many birds, such as
the Greater Flamingo and Montagu’s Harrier. The salt is also commercially
extracted and is one of the town’s main industries.
