Reyes Magos(Three Kings)
by barbskie
The best loved tradition among kids during Spanish Christmas. Santa Claus is well-known figure but the Three Kings are the stars. There is a traditional Cabalgata procession(Parade of the three Kings) starting fom Playa del Cura, through the famous streets of the town joined by a host of groups, marching bands, dancers and fire actors. The parade, is a delight for young and old alike. and takes more or less 3 hours till reaching Plaza Concepcion (the main square). On arrival, they received letters from local children before entering the church to pay a homage to the baby born Jesus.
Playa Punta Prima
by barbskie
Not far from Torrevieja, a few miles to the south, is a locally known place Punta Prima. Good for those who seeks for tranquility without being isolated. Has fine white sandy beach and all those usual things .
Worth visiting for a pleasant atmosphere

Some good restaurants in Torrevieja
by jmeri
"Pinocchio"
Every time I go to Torrevieja, I like to visit restaurant Pinocchio which is located in Los Frutales. It has german-international kitchen.
"Rancho Blanco"
This old farmhouse is located a few kilometers outside of Torrevieja and it's very popular restaurant. Drive south from Torrevieja and turn right towards San Miguel and when you come to the circle under the highway there's sign to a very small road to the restaurant. This restaurant specializes in meat dishes .
"Patio Andaluz"
Very nice Restaurant few kilometers south from Torrevieja just before Punta Prima -crossing. Live spanish music.
