Ciudad Quesada

Ciudad Quesada is a relatively new town that was established in 1972 by Justo Quesada Samper, a remarkable man who wanted to create a place where people could enjoy the Spanish way of life. Such was the success of his work that in 1999 Quesda was awarded its own Town Hall. In contrast there is the delightful town of Rojales with its oldie world Spanish style and the famous shell house.

From junction 745 of the AP-7 you take the CV90 to enter Ciudad Quesada through an impressive archway leading to the main street full of shops, bars and restaurants plus a Medical Centre and well attended Social Club.

The views are spectacular in Quesada, you can see many neighbouring towns and villages all the way across to the salt lakes and natural park of La Mata and Torrevieja then beyond to the beautiful blue Mediterranean. The Parque Natural de La Mata y Torrevieja has salt flats and so lots of wildlife rest there Walking and cycling routes are marked out and there is a small Tourist Information office on the N332 at La Mata

This is very much a residential area but a smattering of tourism made popular by its close proximity to the beaches of Guardamar and the therapeutic salt lake environment.
