Torrevieja, Alicante (Spain)
Torrevieja is a seaside city and municipality located on the Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante, in the southern part of the Valencian Community, on the southeastern Mediterranean coast of Spain.
Is a tourist town whose life revolves around the sea and the production of salt. Its two huge salt mines, La Mata y Torrevieja, are surrounded by modern housing estates.
Connected with each other, the salt mines were declared a Nature Reserve; they reach the sea through La Mata. Salt mining in this region goes back to the beginning of Christianity, though it reached its peak during the 19th century.
In Torrevieja, seafaring tradition is kept alive by the significant activity of the fishing and trading port, the numerous piers at the Royal Sailing Club, and the International Marina.
Towards the end of the promenade we find the wharfs from which ships, loaded with salt, would leave for Cuba. These vessels would bring, on their way back, the popular songs known as "habaneras", which still entertain the popular Coral Competition celebrated every year during the summer.
Weather
On May, the weather in Torrevieja is usually warm. The average temperature is 19 °C with a minimum of 14°C and a maximum of 25 °C.
It’s possible to swim in the sea at this time of year. The average sea temperature is 19 C.
Location
Torrevieja is located 50 Km from Alicante and 45 Km from Alicante Airport
