Torrevieja holidays

Originally a place to mine salt and harvest the seas, holidaymakers can visit the salt lakes of Torrevieja before retreating back to the city, where local fishermen continue to haul in a fresh catch ready for supper. Bird watchers love the salt lakes (Las Salinas), especially when flocks of long-legged flamingos turn parts of the already colourful vista bubble-gum pink.

Golf lovers also book Torrevieja holidays as the area is home to lots of expertly planned and manicured greens and fairways. The mild year-round climate of Torrevieja means no month is out of bounds when it comes to golfing breaks.

Nightlife: Once the sun disappears off the golden sands of Torrevieja the town is illuminated by neon.
