The “Habaneras” is the new shopping & eating complex, with a fantastic array of

Designer shops and many restaurants serving every type of food you could imagine.

The International Habaneras and Choral Song Competition, which has been declared to be of special interest to foreign tourists, is held in honour of the inhabitants of Torrevieja who traded with Cuba, a former Spanish colony and home to the Habaneras sung by the sailors on their return. The lakes have been declared a Nature Reserve due to their wetland ecosystem and for the ecological habitat they provide for migratory and nesting birds.

Modern day Torrevieja has other significant features including the Modernist Casino and the Church of the Immaculate Conception which are located in one of the commercial and residential areas of the town respectively. In this area can also be found the monument to the Coralista and the Museum of the Sea and of Salt, which explains the history of the sea and of the salt industry which are representative of Torrevieja's past. 

Walks can be taken to the fishing wharf and boat trips taken along Torrevieja's coastline. There are several magnificent sandy beaches including Los Locos, El Acequión, Los Náufragos, La Mata and El Cura. The southernmost beach, the Náufragos beach, offers a range of amenities. The Cura beach is situated between the Levante dock and the Punta Carral. Across from the Punta Carral is the Los Locos beach. The longest and most northern beach is the la Mata from where excursions can be made to the tourist vantage point of the Moro Tower, one of the medieval towers that give Torrevieja its name.

The historical heritage is explained in the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum and the Municipal Arts Centre. Today the area is a 840 hectare Forest Park called the 'Dunas de Guardamar', and has been declared an Area of Natural Interest. The Reina Sofía Park is a good place to walk and admire the scenery within a magnificent setting of native flora and fauna. The park, with its lakes, waterfalls and trails, is beautifully designed. Guardamar's 14-kilometre coastline has fine sandy beaches. The Centro and Roqueta beaches are the most frequented, whilst others like the Moncayo and Los Tusales, located next to the mouth of the Segura River, are less crowded.

Alicante is situated in the Bay formed by the Cabo de las Huertas and the Cabo de Santa Pola, at the foothills of the Monte Benacantil. Alicante has a view over the sea and the fertile 'huerta', that surrounds the city. Alicante's historical district is located in the area around the Calle Labradores and the Rambla de Méndez Núñez -a street that a river used to pass through. The esplanade runs parallel to the seafront and is a favourite place to stroll when visiting the city, to eat ice cream, and to listen to concerts performed by the Municipal Band.

The Playa del Postiguet is located at one end of the Esplanade, the Canalejas Park with its Fish Market - now converted into the best exhibition hall in Alicante - on the other. An interesting walk can be taken through the streets of the old centre and the Plazas del Carmen and Quijano, climbing up to the Castle of Santa Bárbara -a magnificent vantage point to view the entire city. Descending by the calles Toledo and San Roque you reach Plaza de Santa María where there is a Museum of Art - the Museum of the Asegurada- and the Church of Santa María. From the Plaza del Carmen take the calle de San Rafael and climb up to the Santa Cruz district, a vividly colourful area with geraniums in pots. 

At night this area full of bars and cafés becomes the centre of Alicante's nightlife.

For a complete change and to delve into the Spanish way of life visit La Alcoraya a small village located 40 km north. Here you will find the unique 'cave' houses and a cave bar where the food is typical of the region and excellent.
