Tourists and salt producers flock to Torrevieja, a lively coastal city in Alicante, Spain. A Mediterranean environment with scorching summers and moderate winters draws people year-round on the Costa Blanca. In recent decades, Torrevieja has expanded from a modest fishing village to a bustling city.
The city, meaning “old tower,” is named after a nearby watchtower. Modern Torrevieja is noted for its gorgeous beaches, including Playa del Cura, Playa de los Locos, and La Mata, which offer water sports and services. Long, sandy expanses and clean seas make them great for swimming, sunbathing, and family pleasure.
