The apartment is located near the front of the La Cinuelica complex which is a few minutes walk from the town of Punta Prima, which is on the N332, the main road which runs from Alicante in the north, to Cartagena in the south. The map below is interactive so just click on it with your mouse to navigate around. The closest town, Torrevieja is just a 10 minute drive along this road, or there are plenty of local buses. Torrevieja is a typically lively Spanish sea side town with lovely beaches, a large marina / port, many cafes, bars, restaurants and famous street markets. It is famous for its salt lakes, which are supposed to make the area one of the healthiest around. The lakes also have Flamingos and other wildlife. There is a small Island off the coast called Tabarca, which has good snorkeling and beaches and makes a nice day out. (be aware that prices are expensive on the island, so if that is a concern take plenty of food and drink with you). A ferry to Tabarca Island is available from the port in Torrevieja, it is a glass bottom submarine boat, takes about 75 minutes, costs about 22 Euro's. (I think there is only two ferries a day) for more information go to this website.) |
