General information
The name “Costa Blanca” translates to “White coast” and Playa Flamenca is one of the most desirable locations along this stretch of the Costa Blanca. The beach areas have recently undergone a programme of works and are now even better than before. Walkways have been installed providing easy access along the coastline. Cliff top walks have been provided and eventually they will allow access all the way from the busy town of Torrevieja, past the fabulous resorts of Punta Prima, Playa Flamenca, La Zenia and on to Cabo Roig.

The main beaches of Punta Prima, Playa Flamenca and la Zenia are all within walking distance of our apartment. If you have a car during your stay, youll be able to reach many more beaches including over 15 kilometres of golden sand stretching from La Mata, past Guardamar with its beautiful pine forests to La Marina.

Playa Flamenca holds a market every Saturday offering everything from fresh locally grown produce to clothes, bags, flowers and sweets, don’t forget to grab a freshly spit-roasted chicken while you are there, flavoured with garlic and absolutely delicious. You can also try a Spanish paella or a Spanish omelette, cooked in the traditional way, if you wish you can even watch while it is being made.

Just a 5 minute walk from the apartment is the Playa Flamenca commercial centre where you will find local shops including a supermarket and a wide range of restaurants offering dishes from all over the world. There are also plenty of opportunities to try a spot of karaoke, watch a live act, catch up on the latest sport or join in a pub quiz. For those who fancy a quieter evening, a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction brings you to Punta Prima and a different selection of restaurants and bars for you to enjoy. If you prefer al fresco dining by the sea, simply stroll down to the seafront to the Nautilus bar and lap up the beautiful sea views.

The year-round climate on the Costa Blanca makes this area ideal for a golfing holiday at any time of the year. Its a golfers paradise with the three top courses of Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor just a 5 minute drive away. Extending your driving time by about 15 minutes and youll have an even greater choice including La Marquesa in Rojales and La Finca at Algorfa. In fact, you can try a different course for every day of the week.

Just a short drive or bus ride up the road is the bustling Spanish harbour town of Torrevieja. Torrevieja is an all-year town and still retains much of its original charm and character, complete with its own harbour and fishing fleets. The Friday market is the perfect place to stock up on fresh produce, leather goods and clothes and is a short walk up from the sea front in the centre of town.

From the harbour in the centre of Torrevieja, you can enjoy walks in both directions along the seafront. Heading south leads you towards the conveyor belt that takes the famous Torrevieja salt from the lakes down to the sea for loading and transportation by boat. It is here that you will find Los Naufragos beach.

For those who fancy somewhere with a little bit more of a buzz, you can head to the sea via the promenade, a journey that will take you first to Playa del Cura and then on to the beautiful beach of Playa Los Locos. Both are popular and lively beaches on account of their fine sand, calm waters, a full range of facilities and the benefit of a bustling seafront promenade.

Evenings are a good time for a stroll along the seafront in Torrevieja and youll find the place bustling with Spanish locals and tourists alike. Enjoy refreshing drinks, ice creams or even dine al-fresco before heading back towards our apartment. You will find a wonderful choice of restaurants and bars to relax and dine at in Torrevieja.

For the more adventurous with a car, youll find many places within easy reach. The towns of Alicante or Murcia are perfect for a Spanish shopping experience. Heading inland will take you to many typical Spanish towns and villages where you can soak up the real Spanish atmosphere and way of life. Make sure to find out if there are any local fiestas taking place during your stay, particularly the Moors and Christians celebration. They are loud, colourful, exciting and well worth a visit.
