Torrevieja, Coastal municipality in Vega Baja, Spain.
Located between the Mediterranean Sea and two salt lagoons, Torrevieja extends along 25 kilometers of coastline with numerous Blue Flag beaches.
The settlement started as a salt-mining village in 1803 when Charles IV relocated salt production facilities, leading to significant urban development.
The Museum of Sea and Salt presents exhibits about maritime traditions and salt production methods that shaped the local identity over generations.
The city features direct access to the N-332 coastal road and maintains regular bus connections to Alicante Airport, located 40 minutes away.
The pink-colored Laguna de Torrevieja continues to produce one-quarter of Spain's salt supply through traditional harvesting methods.
