Where to stay in Torrevieja
Staying close to the seafront puts you in a great spot for the market and the town's salt lakes. Try Paseo Vista Alegre for easy access to the waterfront, or look for options around Centro if you want to be within walking distance of the main squares and shops.
If you prefer something more self-contained, the area around Playa del Cura has plenty of apartments and hotels that work well for a longer stay, with the beach right on your doorstep.
