A tour of Torrevieja is like a step into the past but with all the luxuries of the modern day. The city gives way to sandy white beaches and a warm sea, but the crowning jewel of Torrevieja sightseeing is the old town itself.
Old Town Torrevieja
Torevieja is named literally for an old tower that became popular with tourists as far back at the early 1800s. It was here that the salt industry made its home. Torevieja is still known for its fishing, harbour and salt industry, but also its wonderful old tower.
Along with the tower, many tourists are enamoured by La Immaculata Conception Church. There is also the museum of sea and salt and the fish market, where fish on occasion are actually auctioned off!
The harbour provides a scenic and relaxing place to stroll along the water, just up from the sandy beaches. This palm lined walkway wraps around the city for the perfect walking distance.
