(the "White Coast"). What is there to do in Torrevieja?A better question would be "What CAN'T we do in Torrevieja?" It would need a very comprehensive website to list all the activities that take place in this bustling town but please check out our Things To Do section for more details. Is Torrevieja a tourist area?Torrevieja is a developing tourist centre and one of the most important on the Mediterranean coast. However, you will find it is not nearly as commercialised as other areas on the Costa Blanca. It still retains that special "Spanish" feel and has an extremely relaxed environment. |

Some of the most popular events in Spain are the Carnivals in which thousands of people join in, forming a light show of colour, satire and good humour. The Holy Week attracts lots of people into the streets, converting these into huge paths of colour penance and popular religiosity.
