The impressive Villamartin Plaza contains over 20 restaurants varying from Italian, English, German, Spanish, Mexican, Austrian, Chinese, and French cuisine to name but a few, and these serve food both indoors and outside in the summer months in the delightful courtyard. For those not wishing to eat, there are also a number of bars within the vicinity. The plaza is a five minute walk from the apartment.

 

Torrevieja


The coastal town of Torrevieja is only 15 minutes drive from Villamartin, and is located 45km south of Alicante airport and 25km north of Murcia (San Javier) airport. Torrevieja is an old fishing town, but has grown significantly in recent years, and has now become a first-class tourist location.

It boasts over 320 days of sun a year and an average temperature of over 18°C. There are many beautiful beaches, squares, walks, parks, gardens and other natural beauty spots in the area, as well as a number of historical monuments and buildings.

The Salt Lakes


Along with the beautiful white sandy beaches and the stunning mountain scenery, the area also contains the spectacular salt lagoons of Torrevieja and La Mata; these are now national parks because of their ecological interest, and are home to over 250 species of birds and other wildlife.

These are also widely known for health reasons, ie bathing in the salt lakes is known to be effective against rheumatism, arthritis, dermatological and heart diseases.

The salt lakes (Salinas) also have a major impact on the climate around Torrevieja, and the atmosphere in the area is good with clean fresh air.

These salt lakes are used for the production of salt, which is exported from Torrevieja harbour to countries all over the world.

 

Caves


The impressive caves of Canelobre are situated near the village of Busot, and are located in a mountainous area some 24 kms north of Alicante on the northern side of Cabeço d'Or.

The interior of the caves are high, and portray incredible shapes.

On some occasions concerts are held in the caves; due to the atmospheric conditions within the caves, the quality of sound generated at these musical events is quite unique.

You will find everything you need in these two supermarkets and it will be much cheaper than shopping in the local supermarket at Villa Martin.
