About the area around Torrevieja

Torrevieja, literally "old tower", is historically known for its role in the salt trade. Torrevieja is surrounded by two large salt lakes, Torrevieja and La Mata. These two lakes produce more than half a million tons of salt annually. During your visit to Torrevieja, you should stop in at the Museum of Sea and Salt to learn more about this long tradition in the area. Culturally, Torrevieja serves as a sort of language divider between the Catalan spoken in the North and the Castellan Spanish spoken in the remainder of Spain. Torrevieja is typically bilingual, with many people speaking both Catalan and Castellan Spanish. Given the large English speaking tourist population, you'll find it an easy place to travel even as a non-Spanish speaker. Torrevieja is best known by tourists for its lovely beaches. The waters along the Costa Blanca are crystal clear, with long expanses of fine sand beaches. Local coves make ideal swimming spots. The Torrevieja harbour is home to more than 300 fishing boats and many more private sport boats. Boat tours of the Costa Blanca are available for interested visitors. Not only are the clear waters of Torrevieja's beaches available to its visitors, but mud baths in the healing waters of lakes La Mata and Torrevieja are also well renowned, and recommended for treatment of a variety of ailments. The Torrevieja town square is charming and quaint. If you're in the area around the winter holidays, it is well known for its intricate Nativity display. You might also enjoy a visit to the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Torrevieja, dating to 1880. The church is home to some lovely artwork. Torrevieja is known for its active nightlife with many thriving pubs, bars and nightclubs. You're sure to find evening entertainment options that suit you, whether it's a traditional Spanish evening on the town, a modern nightclub or an English pub. The energetic night time scene in Torrevieja has made it a popular destination for younger travellers. While Torrevieja is not home to large department stores, small shops and amazing outdoor markets selling everything from fish to textiles await you on your visit. If you're only planning a short visit, try to be in Torrevieja on a Friday to experience a grand street market. Smaller street markets may be found elsewhere in town on other days. You will find that much of old Torrevieja is accessible on foot, and this can be the best way to explore the harbour, markets and town square.
