Daytrips around the Spanish coast
Sightseeing
Campoamor has a great local and child friendly beach, with a playground and restaurants. A walkway takes you between different beautiful beaches such as La Zenia, Cabo Roig, Mil Palmeras and Punta Prima.
In Campoamor there are several beach restaurants where you can overlook the ocean while having breakfast, lunch or dinner. Along the N-332 there is a long path with restaurants. It looks touristy, but the food is really good! Our favourite is ”an Italian affair”.
The beach of La Glea, which receives more visitors and equipped with all services for lovers of water sports. There is also a paddle tennis and tennis club, where you can enjoy a sunny day or enjoy a drink in any of its bars and restaurants, making this beach the most lively and cosmopolitan.

Take the boat out to Tabarca from Santa Pola for about 20 minutes. Runs scheduled all day but with lunch break. Swimwear and bathing shoes needs to be packed, the beach can be little rocky. Both glassbottom and regular boats. Great for snorkling!

Fuentes de Algar - Small waterfalls and natural springs. Beautiful along the way too. However, the water is around 14 degrees, so if you plan to swim, go there during the summer.

Rome's history around Torrevieja.
When the Carthaginians spread around the Mediterranean from their capital in present-day Tunisia, some ended up in this area. This was around 230 BC. They ruled the area for a while until Hannibal made his attack on Rome which went as it went. When the Romans finally crushed Carthage = Cartagena, they also occupied the area of present-day Torrevieja around 220 BC. The Romans ruled the area for almost 200 years and built a lot of infrastructure and settlements around the Spanish coast. No major Roman city existed at the site of Torrevieja but there is ample evidence that the great Roman road Via Augusta passed here. Via Augusta was the longest of all Roman roads on the Iberian Peninsula and stretched over 150 miles. The Romans were naturally interested in the salt lakes because salt was an important commodity. They built a port in, above all, present-day La Mata. Unfortunately, the effort required by archaeologists to unravel the full significance of Torrevieja during Roman times has not really been put in place.

Remember to book a table in advance to make sure it is open and not fully booked as the drive takes apx. 20 minutes. Drive or take a taxi (ca 30EUR one way) to Finca Rebate for a really great food experience. Located in a finca in the lower parts of the montains where oranges grow aplenty, you all of a sudden find a culinary gem. Recommend a long lunch! Kids enjoys the place too as they have large enclosures with goats and tame birds and turtoises can be found wandering.
