Torrevieja Spain - Torrevieja - Every year thousands of holidaymakers from Spain and indeed all over Europe head for the Costa Blanca town of Torrevieja. Its great range of facilities, its excellent sandy beaches and its lively atmosphere all help to make it a popular choice. Formerly a small fishing village, Torrevieja became one of the major salt exporters in the world thanks to the two huge salt lakes located behind the town. An explosion in property development during the 1980’s and 1990’s caused the town to grow at a phenomenal rate.

Ciudad Quesada - Just inland from Torrevieja, the story of Ciudad Quesada is completely different and unique to that of any other town or village of the Costa Blanca, or in fact the whole of Spain. It is not a story of ancient settlers, nor of bitter wars fought between Arabs and Christians, Ciudad Quesada does not have a medieval fortress or an age-worn parish church built over the course of a hundred years. Ciudad Quesada is the result of one man’s childhood dream, a dream to build his own ‘Holiday City’ where people could live together in harmony, prosper and enjoy life to the full. That dream of one Justo Quesada Samper finally became a reality in 1972 when the city of Ciudad Quesada was begun and had reached fruition by 1999 when it boasted its own Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) and its own Mayor.
Orihuela Costa - South of Torrevieja, some 20 km distant from the town of Orihuela lies its own distinct coastal area, the Orihuela Costa. Comprising about 16 km of beautiful coastline on the southern Costa Blanca, the Orihuela Costa has some fine sandy beaches, lively resorts and excellent facilities. Close together at the southern end of the Costa are 3 super golf courses (Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor). Some of the most popular resorts along the Orihuela Costa include Cabo Roig, Campoamor, La Zenia, and Punta Prima, all have splendid beaches and a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants.
Guardamar del Segura - Situated at the mouth of the Segura river, Guardamar del Segura is one of the most popular of the Vega Baja coastal resorts. Its wonderful sandy beaches and excellent climate are the main attractions and it is popular with both Spanish and European holidaymakers. Guardamar’s ancient castle and old town were destroyed by a huge earthquake in 1829 and the town was re-built closer to the sea but the ever moving sand dunes of Guardamar del Segura encroached on the new town and a huge tree planting project was started in the late 19th Century to anchor the sand and save the town. This wonderful tree-planted area now forms 2 beautiful shady parks.
Cabo Roig - The resort of Cabo Roig is one of the coastal towns of the Vega Baja district of the Alicante province, situated in an area of the coastline known as the Orihuela Costa. Cabo Roig originally grew up around a sixteenth century watchtower which was constructed to warn the neighbourhood of impending attacks from Berber pirates which occurred frequently along this part of the coast between the 14th and 17th centuries. Cabo Roig is now a popular holiday resort with 2 superb beaches and an exclusive marina and yachting club. One of the highlights of Cabo Roig is the stunning cliff walk from Cala Caleta to La Zenia, providing some breathtaking views along the way.
Punta Prima - At the northern end of the area known as the Orihuela Costa is the beautiful coastal resort of Punta Prima. Best known for its huge palm trees, lined behind its ‘blue flag’ beach, Punta Prima is a popular location for holidaymakers from all over Europe. Lying close to the bustling town of Torrevieja, Punta Prima is perfectly located for a wide range of facilities, handy for the golf courses of Villamartin, Campoamor and Las Ramblas, Punta Prima is also a great area for water sports and fishing, the Go-Kart track along the N332 is very popular with the children.
Los Montesinos - Located on what was once the most important Roman road in Spain (the Via Augusta from Rome to Cadiz), Los Montesinos is a traditional Spanish village with a modern feel. Nowadays Los Montesinos has a sizeable British expat community and a number of British bars and restaurants aimed at its British residents, these mingle nicely with the traditional Spanish ones giving the village a cosmopolitan aura. Los Montesinos is right in the middle of citrus farming country and its surrounding roads are lined with orange and lemon groves, the village originally took its name from a family of noblemen who governed the local people many centuries ago.
Playa Flamenca - Located in the Orihuela Costa district of the southern Costa Blanca, Playa Flamenca could not be called a traditional Spanish village, in fact up until the early 1970’s it was just an area of barren coastline. Developed by a group of Flemish investors, Playa Flamenca has become one of the most popular destinations along the coast, the newly improved beach and promenade have given the resort a much needed facelift. The busy Saturday market is one of the big attractions of Playa Flamenca and thousands of shoppers head there every week looking for a bargain or two.
