Towns of South-East Spain - Costa Blanca South

Torre de la Horadada

In an area know as Orihuela Costa, Torre de la Horadada sits on the border of Costa Blanca and Costa Calida close to the beautiful Mar Menor lagoon in Murcia.

Junction 770 on the A7 Motorway leads you down to the N332 coastal road and into Torre (as the locals call it). 15 minutes south on the A7 gets you to Murcia (San Javier) airport and 50 minutes north takes you to Alicante airport. The A7 is also a speedy link to the numerous golf courses in the area and the excellent shopping town of Pilar de la Horadada, where you will find everything you need plus a cinema showing English films, a great swimming pool with a roof that closes over for the winter months. There is a good bus service that takes you to Pillar and the other local towns and the route ends about 90 minutes later in the wonderful city of Murcia.

Torre has the best of both worlds – it’s really rather sleepy but it has everything within easy reach. The marina and the square are the main focal points of the town – we’ve spent many hours around the marina just looking out to sea and drinking far too much wine. It can get quite busy during the summer with lots happening on the beach and in the marina as water sport enthusiasts make the most of the local facilities. In the evening you can wander into the plaza of Pueblo Latino where there is a great choice of restaurants and bars and the lighting is subtle and the atmosphere relaxing - a very popular venue for al fresco dining.

There are a good many town houses, semi-detached houses and detached villas in the area and a few apartments for sale. It’s a popular area and in demand as there are not that many towns on the coast side of the N332 with quite as much choice.
