About the area

This glorious run of white sand beaches and busy resort towns make the perfect holiday location. It’s also an easy area to get to with regular and competitively priced flights into Alicante airport, all year round. Well-known Torrevieja sits at the heart of this region, but there are a handful of great locations to explore, such as Ciudad Quesada packed with bars, restaurants and live music, Villamartin best known for its traditional plaza and Guardamar del Segura home to a spectacular stretch of sandy beach.
