Torrevieja – a seaside city with beaches and year-round living
Torrevieja is one of the most recognisable cities on the Costa Blanca South, located about 50 km south of Alicante. Formerly a small fishing village and salt-producing port, today it is a fully functioning city operating 12 months a year, with complete infrastructure, a large international community and a well-developed real estate market.
The city lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the salt lagoons of La Mata and Torrevieja, which create a distinctive landscape and a specific microclimate. As a result, winters are mild and summer temperatures are more comfortable than in many other southern regions of Spain. More than 300 sunny days per year and mild winters attract residents and buyers from across Europe.
Torrevieja offers both central urban beaches and longer coastal stretches on the outskirts of the city. The most well-known are Playa del Cura and Playa de Los Locos — located close to the centre, with promenades, restaurants and cafés. To the north lies the wide Playa de La Mata, one of the longest beaches in the region, surrounded by natural dunes. The beaches have gentle access to the sea and good infrastructure, making them convenient for daily use by residents throughout most of the year.
Torrevieja is a city for everyday living, not only a holiday resort. It has schools, private clinics and a hospital, shopping centres, a marina, local markets and a wide range of services. Restaurants and bars operate also in winter, and the city hosts cultural events and local fiestas. Thanks to its large international community, it is easy for foreigners to settle here. The city also offers bus transport, walking and cycling paths and quick access to nearby towns.
Location and distances
• Alicante Airport – approx. 45 minutes
• Guardamar del Segura – approx. 13 km
• Orihuela Costa – approx. 5–8 km
• Alicante – approx. 50 km
The proximity of the motorway and the airport makes the city convenient both for permanent residence and frequent visits.
In Torrevieja, apartments near the centre and the beach predominate, as well as residential complexes with swimming pools on the outskirts. Both holiday properties and homes intended for permanent living are available. Areas such as La Mata, Punta Prima and Los Náufragos offer a wide choice of properties — from modern apartments to villas. For this reason, Torrevieja is one of the most popular investment locations in the south of Costa Blanca. The area is popular among second-home buyers and rental investors.
