You won't be short of things to do and places to visit in Torrevieja whether you're a sports lover, food fan, history buff or simply a sun worshipper. There are magnificent beaches of fine sand, walkways, parks, gardens and natural beauty spots to explore. Visit the salt flats which surround the town - the 'salterns', a nature reserve and home to 250 species of bird including flamingoes. For sporty types Torrevieja offers a range of water sports as well as tennis, biking, hiking, horse riding and golf. For day trips and excursions head up the coast just 12 kilometres where you'll find the beautiful beaches of Guardamar, bordered by sand dunes and palm gardens on the northern side of the town. The city of Alicante is an excellent shopping and entertainment centre just north of Torrevieja. For some great family days out head north to Benidorm which boasts Spain's biggest theme park, Terra Mitica, the waterworld of Aqualandia and the exotic bird and marine life centre Mundomar.
