In addition to the Lidl supermarket, a Carrefour has also opened within 5 minutes walking distance of the apartment, beside the popular go-karting track. The thriving & busy coastal town of Torrevieja is only 10 minutes away by car. This town, which is one of the fastest growing on the Costa Blanca, has the largest street market in Southern Spain, held every Friday. Amenities include a marina, shops, cafes, bistros, restaurants, bars, English cinema & a beautiful church square. There is also an English cinema located to the South of Playa Flamenca, at Torre de la Horadada. In addition a bus service runs every Saturday night from the Playa Flamenca Commercial Centre to the world renowned ‘Pacha’ nightclub on the outskirts of Torrevieja.
The salt lakes of Torrevieja are the largest in Europe, (second in the world only to the Dead Sea in Israel). The whole area boasts 300 days of sunshine a year, (only 30 days of rain), with average winter temperatures reaching 18C. Festivals, (or fiestas), are also held throughout the area in almost every month of the year. The Mar Menor to the South has a natural lagoon, (with the warmest waters in Spain), so is ideal for watersports.
If you want to get away from it all driving west of Playa Flamenca will take you to pine clad hillsides, rich citrus orchards and olive and almond groves.

The golfer is also well catered for with the internationally renowned 18 hole courses Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor being located within 10 minutes drive of Playa Flamenca centre.
