Downtown Torrevieja

Want to soak up some city vibes? Torrevieja is the ideal spot! Wander along the boulevard, take in the views of the marina, or enjoy a drink on a terrace by the beach.

Laguna Salada de Torrevieja - The Pink Lake

The salt lakes of Torrevieja (Laguna Rosa) offer unique health benefits thanks to their mineral‑rich water and mud, which contain high levels of magnesium, calcium and potassium. You can enjoy beautiful walks or bike rides in the healthy air, with the paths around the Salinas de Torrevieja being ideal for peaceful routes through the fresh, salty breeze. It’s also possible to plan a relaxing visit with the tourist train, which departs daily from Paseo de la Libertad in the centre of Torrevieja.

One of the best recommendations is to visit the salt lakes at sunset, when you can capture the most stunning photos of the pink water. The nature reserve surrounding the lake is also home to many pink flamingos, perfect for an extra special photo.

Please note that the salt lake is not always pink. The colour depends on the concentration of bacteria and algae that thrive in extremely salty water and strong sunlight.

Healthy Mud Baths - Mar Menor

The famous “healthy” mud baths are located in Lo Pagán (San Pedro del Pinatar), about a 20–30 minute drive south of Torrevieja. In the Mar Menor lagoon, you can apply the therapeutic, mineral‑rich black mud to your skin, let it dry and then rinse it off — a tradition believed to be soothing for the skin and joints.

Fun facts about the mud baths in Lo Pagán

• Benefits: The mud is rich in calcium, salt, iodine and magnesium, which many people associate with relief from rheumatism, skin conditions and overall relaxation.
• Always open & free: You can visit the mud baths at any time of day, all year round.
• How it works: After applying the mud, let it dry in the sun. Then rinse it off in the water. You can also enjoy a refreshing swim in the Mar Menor. Tip: Bring some fresh water to rinse off afterwards, as the mud and salt can dry on the skin.
• Information point: There is an information stand on site if you’d like to learn more.
• Shade available: Thanks to the many palm trees, you can also find shaded spots.
• Popular with locals: Many residents visit the mud baths regularly (once a week or every 4–5 days).
