fish counter, again within walking distance. San Miguel de Salinas is a small Spanish Pueblo(Town) with bars, restaurants, banks, shops and supermarkets. Here you will find the Tourist Office. The local market on a Wednesday is a real hub of activity and sells almost everything, including locally grown produce. The market is in the centre of the Pueblo and can be easily found. It is also a great place for meeting friends or just to stop by and have a coffee and listen to the ‘chatter’ of the local people. Transport is available by either bus or taxi at the top of the road.

There are numerous glorious beaches very close to our properties, as you would expect in the Orihuela Costa area. Punta Prima, Cabo Roig , La Zenia, Playa Flamenca and Campoamor to name just a few.
