Top 5 Places to Live in Torrevieja according to age group and family requirements

Torrevieja is a popular coastal town on the Southern Costa Blanca known for its Blue Flag beaches, natural parks and beautiful salt lakes that contribute to the city’s healthy microclimate. Having such a wide area, Torrevieja consists of smaller residential areas or urbanizations, each with their own unique characteristics, atmosphere and charm. In this list we highlight the TOP places to live in Torrevieja according to lifestyle, age groups and amenities.

Aguas Nuevas

A residential area well-connected to Torrevieja’s city center, Aguas Nuevas provides easy access to various services and amenities, such as supermarkets, restaurants, shops and nearby beaches. Located here is Ciudad del Mar, one of the leading schools in the Valencian community, and Parque Aromático, a popular natural park in Torrevieja with bicycle trails, children’s playgrounds and picnic areas.

Due to its location near the beach, public parks and schools, Aguas Nuevas offers youthful vibrant atmosphere that is a refreshing change of pace from the more ‘traditional’ places in the area. It is an ideal place for families, especially with young children, and younger couples with babies. The town offers excellent facilities for a convenient and enjoyable life.

La Mata / Cabo Cervera / Torre del Moro

These small residential areas are popular for having preserved their identity as a small fishing village, with some of the shops and structures still showcasing traditional Spanish architecture. Their unspoilt Spanish charm can also be attributed to the lack of high-rise buildings and the local affluence still exuded by the towns.

While retaining their small fishing village charm, these towns are also situated near the city center, making them easily accessible to supermarkets, shops and even schools. At the same time, they are conveniently located near beaches and coves. There are plenty of things to do in these towns; La Mata, in particular, offers a colorful lifestyle that can be enjoyed by singles, couples and families.
