Torrevieja Torrevieja has a superb selection of sports for the enthusiast, including sailing, diving, tennis, bowls, athletics, football and a gymnasium. The coast is lined with beaches of fine sand, providing a complete range of beach activities. 7 of these beaches are EU Blue Flag beaches providing clean and safe fun for all the family.

The World Health Organisation recommends Torrevieja as having one of the healthiest climates in the world. This is caused by the combination of constant year round warm temperatures and the two huge salt lakes at the edge of town, rich in minerals. The natural salt lakes dry the air, therefore reducing humidity and producing a healthy atmosphere, especially to arthritis sufferers.There are numerous bars and restaurants which serve fantastic cuisine (and alcohol) for all tastes, from traditional Spanish Tapas to the delights of Italian, French, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, and traditional British cuisine.
