Paseo Maritimo Juan Aparicio
by barbskie
A promenade and a recreation area that serves equally for walking and for sitting out feeling the cool breeze from the sea. From the Levante further ahead, sea walls were built as wavebreakers and small ,shallow swimming pool, as well as a concrete slab beaches and wooden-paved solariums is made. A boardwalk is leading into the sea used for diving and play.
Torrevieja
by RussHudd
If you are thinking of visiting Torrevieja for a holiday my advice is don't bother, it is a concrete jungle full of apartments. The beaches are man made, small and crowded. The whole town is dirty with pavements full of dog excrement. The restaurants generally are not that great either. If you have a car at least you can get away and visit some very nice little villages and coves nearby such as Cabo Roig, Guardemar and Playa Flamenca.
Torrevieja and surrounding area
by Bill&Bill
Beautiful Spanish Town. More tourists now, but still lovely. Parking is diff but use the novel underground c/p under Piaza. Bathing beaches right in town along the walkway out of main area. Lots of local restaurants and bars. We stay at a village north of town called La Marina. Long sandy beaches deseted out of season except on Saturdays - the locals day out when families gather in their hundreds.
Inland area great for exploration. Elche the area Capital is a lovely town, and Alicante - where the airport is - such a beautiful City - mainly overlooked by travellers. Fab new Marina and Piaza area behind Marina. Another small town - Guardamar - between Torrevieja and La Marina - terrific old Spanish town. Great street Market on Wednesdays.
