About Torrevieja

Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca is a popular beach resort and long-term residence for Northern Europeans with over 300 sunny days a year. The city is famous for its pink lagoon — the Salinas de Torrevieja — whose intense pink color is created by algae and bacteria. The expansive beaches, mild winter climate, and low cost of living make Torrevieja the ideal place for long-term vacations and wintering by the Mediterranean.
