Punta Prima is just 5 miles south of the Spanish town of Torrevieja. It is a popular area for holiday makers and has a fantastic choice of beaches, shops, bars and restaurants, all within easy walking distance. Torrevieja is surrounded by two large natural saltwater lagoons, which form the well-known “Salterns of Torrevieja”. It is an ideal location for a summer or winter sun holiday with an average of 320 days sunshine each year. Torrevieja isn’t a resort in the package holiday sense, there are only a few hotels and the area is much loved by the Spanish who flock here during the summer months for their holidays. It is impossible to talk about Torrevieja without talking about its beaches with their fine sand and crystal clear waters, without doubt the most frequented along the Mediterranean coast along with the town of Benidorm. They have all held the European Blue Flag for Clean Seas for several years, awarded for their quality and excellent installations. La Mata, Los Locos, El Cura, El Acequión and Los Náufragos together make up the beaches of the Torreviejan coast, not forgetting the marvellous coves in the northern part, as well as the so-called natural swimming pools which are found beside the Juan Aparicio promenade right in the centre of the town. Of course the seaside promenades and the fishing port are attractions in their own right for visitors to this part of the Southern Mediterranean. English is spoken as a second language so you will not find it a problem to communicate within the area. During the day Torrevieja also offers a range of leisure and entertainment areas. As well as its beaches and numerous terraces along its maritime promenade, its great aquatic park (Aquópolis) is swarming with families, young people and children during the summer months. Finally, for the lovers of ecological and environmental tourism, you will not do better than visit the lakes of La Mata and Torrevieja to enjoy a mudbath, recommended by doctors around the world for its curative properties for a large number of rheumatic dermatological, heart and respiratory complaints. Every Friday Torrevieja holds one of the largest open-air markets in Spain and sells all kinds of food, textiles, clothes and accessories. Street markets can be found every day of the week in different areas. The town has a good shopping area with lots of independently owned shops selling a variety of goods. An indoor market is open daily where you can buy fresh produce; fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. The town square is very picturesque. At Christmas it hosts a magnificent Nativity scene, which covers a large proportion of the square. The Costa Blanca offers a variety of golf courses. The three closest to the apartment are Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor, though they are situated in the same area, they are totally different. The oldest one is Villamartin, built in 1972, and was the host for the European Tour 1994, for further information, please see the Golf page on this site. The surrounding countryside has an abundance of orange and lemon groves. All in all, an ideal holiday destination for the whole family, at any time of the year.
