The surroundings
Breathtaking landscapes, beaches, and attractions.
Torrevieja is a city in the province of the same name, which emerged amidst nature, making it an ideal location. In 1829, Torrevieja was devastated by an earthquake. The entire city was rebuilt from the ruins and now lies beautifully surrounded by the two salt lakes and natural parks. Originally, Torrevieja was known for its salt deposits, but tourism has transformed it into what it is today – a diverse city with an extremely international population.
Due to its internationally recognized health-promoting microclimate, it is recommended by doctors worldwide. In fact, Torrevieja has even been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a globally acknowledged health destination.

The two salt lakes
The area around Torrevieja is nationally renowned for its salt production. Huge salt lakes and mountains of salt can be found along the road from Alicante, particularly south of Torrevieja. Each year, more than half a million tons of salt are extracted from the salt mines of the salt lagoons.
The two interconnected lagoons of Torrevieja and La Mata were declared a natural reserve in 1994 and are among the most important wetlands in Europe, boasting an exceptional climate and equally impressive flora and fauna. The plant life varies according to the salt content and moisture. Moreover, hundreds of bird species find their nesting grounds here.
