| About
Torrevieja |
On a great plain, amongst lagoons, Torrevieja
is located.
The current municipality grew next to a tower, the old one (la
Vieja), which gave it its name.
The area boasts some splendid beaches, with which it has developed
its tourist capacity in combination with the fishing and the
salt-making tradition. The production of Salt in Torrevieja is one
of the main in Europe, a visit of "The Salinas" is
indispensable.
Two enormous salt lakes are the characteristic trait of this
tourist area. From the North to the South, the coastline begins
with the popular Mata beach with its fine sand.
Cervera cape is linked to Salaret point by a series of small, rocky
coves, particularly those of El Mojón and Zorras followed by two
of the most popular beaches: Locos and Cura, both with fine
sand.
