Orihuela - Torrevieja apartment rental details
Surrounding Area
The apartment is ideally situated between Torrevieja and La Mata towns. Directly opposite the complex is an English run pub / restaurant ‘La Hispaniola Ship’ which is very popular with our guests. There is also an English run internet café which can book coach day trips and arrange car hire and help you with just about anything and a hair and beauty salon. Slightly further along the road (towards the sea) there is an ‘Aladdins cave’ type shop, a very friendly and reasonable Spanish bar / restaurant which has a pool table and sometimes live music and a larger supermarket which sells a wide range of goods. Behind these is a Sports Bar for those keen to keep up to date with the latest events. Within a five minute walk a new small attractive shopping centre has opened, called Torremarina. Amongst it’s shops there is a ‘Mercadona’ supermarket - very popular with locals as it is very reasonably priced, also , a florist, craft shop , travel agency, chemist and dentist. There are also a few bars and restaurants, thus widening the choice of places you can stroll to on a warm evening.
For Torrevieja the bus stop is outside the complex and there is the biggest market in Spain held there on a Friday morning where a variety of purchases can be made. Torrevieja is situated next to the sea in the south of the Valencian Community. It is surrounded by two large natural saltwater lagoons that form the well-known "Salterns of Torrevieja", which are considered to be the biggest in Europe and second in the world. Some people bathe in the salt lakes as they are renowned for their healing properties. In Torrevieja town there are several churches, The Archpriests Parish Church of the Inmaculada Concepción being the most famous in the main square in Torrevieja ‘Plaza de la Constitution’. The building of this church on the site of former temples began in 1880.It holds the statue of the town’s patron saint, La Purisima Concepcion. This image arouses popular fervour in Torrevieja, especially on the two occasions a year that it is taken out for processions. One of the main attractions to Torrevieja are the variety of festivals and carnivals which take place every month.
There are many beautiful beaches, squares, walks, parks, gardens and other natural beauty spots (Ferriz), as well as some wonderful historical monuments such as the Modernist Casino which dates from the begining of the century and has a famous hall in the mozarabic style. Also there is the Recinto de las Eras de la Sal an open, air theatre. There are a variety of restaurants and bars catering for all tastes, pockets and ages plus a good choice of shops from budget to designer. On the outskirts of the town there is the popular ‘Habaneras shopping centre’ and several large hypermarkets with a huge selection of goods for sale at very reasonable prices, even with the fall of the pound against the euro. You can take boat trips from the port and a variety of activities are available including go karting and bowling. There is also an aquapark open June to September nearby.
A 7 minute walk will bring you to the Las Lomas commercial centre which has bars, restaurants, small shops , a small childrens play area and a bus stop to take you to Torrevieja along the coastal road or, in the other direction to La Mata. Alternatively you can now take the bus just round the corner to La Mata, but it is less frequent . In
La Mata are the remains of the old port at Torrevieja, called the Embarcadero Romano, or Roman Docks. Along this coast are the ancient watchtowers called El Moro and La Mata, used in the Middle Ages to warn the coastal inhabitants of attacks by Barbary pirates. La Mata is a smaller, more village like town than Torrevieja and the bus takes you directly into the square which is a gathering point for the locals, especially of an evening when they take their stroll. There are pretty bars and restaurants, catering for all tastes and budgets, for a beachside drink or meal. If you prefer to walk there is wooden promenade from Torrelamata beach (nearest to our apartment), right along to La Mata town. There are several tasteful bars lining the beach and along the promenade to stop and enjoy the view of the aqua blue warm sea and never ending sandy beach and dunes . The beach at the La Mata town end is particularly attractive and there is a children’s play park set back from it which is popular with tourist and locals alike. On a Wednesday morning a market is held in the colourful back streets where many a bargain can be found.
The apartment
This lovely ground floor apartment is situated on the attractive low rise gated Pueblo Marino Complex in the Urbanisation of Torreblanca . The complex has the benefit of being placed in a quieter residential area but still conveniently situated between Torrevieja (5 mins drive) and La Mata (3 mins drive), on the South Costa Blanca coast in the province of Alicante, Spain. The nearest beach to us is called Torrelamata, which is a long sandy, blue flag beach and around a 20 minute walk or 2 minute drive away. We are only 40 minutes drive from both Alicante and Murcia airport as we are pitched between the two. There is something for everyone in the area, whether its bars and restaurants (even the odd karaoke bar and nightclub are easily reached) or a quiet relaxing holiday, for family or couples you will find it all. There is an excellent bus service to both Torrevieja and La Mata town centres, both which hold their weekly very popular markets.
The stunning pool is shared with other residents and holiday home owners, from Spain, the UK and other European countries. It has a reputation as the best pool in the area and is built as three crystal blue swimming pools , on three levels , the separate children’s pools being on the top . Lush ,shaded gardens, with benches and showers for your comfort , surround the pools and there is plenty of room for sunbathing. You can see the sea and the seaside town of La Mata from the pool area and gardens which are all very stylishly laid out. The pool is open all year round and is only closed in inclement weather or for maintenance. It is one of the main reasons we bought the apartment and even in the height of season is never over crowded. I have been there many times when I have had the whole area to myself. The patio / garden is spacious and well equipped with garden furniture and sun loungers for up to six guests and a small free standing barbeque, enabling you to enjoy Al Fresco drinking and dining on a warm summer’s evening. We have kept our flowers and trees in the garden as they provide delightful colours and are a pleasure to look at whilst relaxing and enjoying the sun . Being south facing the patio enjoys several hours of sunshine. A fence surrounds the gated patio / garden to ensure total privacy and avoids it being overlooked , all in all making our apartment ideal for outdoor living.
Set on a private complex of pretty apartments built on two levels , means there is only one apartment directly above ours and as the owners are rarely there it makes for a quiet and private holiday. There are two bedrooms - one double and one twin and two double sofa beds in the lounge / diner. We can sleep up to six comfortably , with an additional two children if you dont mind a bit of a squeeze as there is only the one bathroom. This has a bath, shower, bidet ,wc, bathroom cupboard and stylish mirror. It is nicely tiled from ceiling to floor and the floor is fully tiled too. There are attractive tiles throughout the apartment and we have furnished the walls with mirrors and pictures , along with neutral colours and cream curtains and bedspreads and bedside lamps in the bedrooms, giving a bright and airy atmosphere . The American kitchen Is well equipped with full oven, hob, fridge / freezer, microwave, toaster, iron and ironing board and an extensive range of crockery and utensils for guests use. A hatch and arch lead through to the lounge / diner which has an extendable dining table and four dining room chairs. There is a glass coffee table and UK SAT TV and dvd player on the side board .Wall units and shelves house various sizes of glasses, books and dvds and a cd / radio cassette player which you are welcome to borrow and use during your stay . For your ultimate comfort air conditioning is fitted on a 2 euro coin meter , which provides controlled cold air and heating, and there are three free standing fans . There is plenty of storage space, both inside and outside the apartment, and beach toys , mats and umbrellas which you are welcome to use. Although most of the surrounding complex is flat there are a number of steps up and down the path accesses which means wheelchair access could be a problem. Our English property manager can provide a taxi service if you require it, subject to his work loa d during your stay and is the point of contact for any query or problem.
