The residential will be compound of Bungalow/Apartment with two bedrooms on ground floor with garden or top floor with solarium, communal swimming pool and green areas For those people that don´t know the area, below we will explain a small resum of the both areas, Torrevieja and Orihuela The salt and the sea are the unseparable elements which have marked the histry and determined the prsent-day reality of Torrevieja. At the beginning of the last century there was only a watch-tower, the old tower and a few houses. In 1802 the La Mata salt-flat offices moved to the present site, bringing about the rapid urbanisation of the former Torrevieja. The proximity of the slat-flats and it being an exporting port both of salt and the horticultural produce of La Vega Baja led to the growth of port and town, which gained its independence from Orihuela in 1820. Today it produces about a million tons of salt, mostly exported, making it the prime European salt-producer. The Internacional Competition of Habaneras and Choirs, of International Tourist interest, is held in homage to the people of Torrevieja who traded with Cuba, the former Spanish colony and homeland of the Habaneras which the sailors sang on their return. Salt and sea are the two inseparable elements that have marked the history and determined the present-day circumstances of Torrevieja. At the start of the 19th century in the town's current location there was only a watchtower, an old tower and a handful of houses. In 1802 the administration of the Mata salt-flats transferred to its current location and brought about the rapid urbanization of Torrevieja. The proximity to the salt-flats and its position as a port exporting salt, fruit and vegetables produced in the Vega Baja of the Segura River resulted in the rapid development of the port and the city. It gained its independence from Orihuela in 1820.Today it is one of the leading European producers of salt, with approximately one million tonnes each year, mainly for export. The International Habaneras and Choral Song Competition, which has been declared to be of special interest to foreign tourists, is held in honour of the inhabitants of Torrevieja who traded with Cuba, a former Spanish colony and home to the Habaneras sung by the sailors on their return. The lakes have been declared a Nature Reserve due to their wetland ecosystem and for the ecological habitat they provide for migratory and nesting birds. Modern day Torrevieja has other significant features including the Modernist Casino and the Church of the Immaculate Conception which are located in one of the commercial and residential areas of the town respectively. In this area can also be found the monument to the Coralista and the Museum of the Sea and of Salt, which explains the history of the sea and of the salt industry which are representative of Torrevieja's past. Walks can be taken to the fishing wharf and boat trips taken along Torrevieja's coastline. There are several magnificent sandy beaches including Los Locos, El Acequión, Los Náufragos, La Mata and El Cura. The southernmost beach, the Náufragos beach, offers a range of amenities. The Cura beach is situated between the Levante dock and the Punta Carral. Across from the Punta Carral is the Los Locos beach. The longest and most northern beach is the la Mata from where excursions can be made to the tourist vantage point of the Moro Tower, one of the medieval towers that give Torrevieja its name. The creation of the Bishopric of Orihuela played an essential part in the identity of Orihuela and it has indelibly marked the history of the town through the ages. Orihuela was the Episcopal seat of the province of Alicante for almost four centuries and its civic traditions and artistic heritage are stamped by this major religious influence. The town possesses five national monuments including 'The temptation of Saint Thomas Aquinas' by Velázquez, the statutes of the Sacred Family by Salzillo, and the 'Diablesa' by Bussy. The Segura River has also deeply marked Orihuela as it provides boundaries to the city and is the source of the rich 'huerta' (irrigated land) of the Bajo Segura. Today the river marks the border between the old city and the newer commercial centre, which originated in 1884 with the construction of a railway station linking Orihuela with Murcia, the city with which Orihuela is closely joined via its economy and the Segura River. Today Orihuela is the main town of the region. Today the extensive 338.5 km2 municipal district includes the second largest palm forest of the Alicante region as well as three golf courses, 16 km of town beaches including La Zenia and Dehesa de Campoamor. A walk through Orihuela should not be hurried. Most of Orihuela's glorious architecture can be traced back to either the late gothic, the Renaissance or the Baroque periods. Entering the town from Alicante and walking through the San Antón palm grove you arrive at the house-cum-museum of Miguel Hernández, located next to the former Santo Domingo University with its magnificently high cloisters and baroque portal. Walk up calle Santa Lucía, with the hill crowned by the seminary to the right, and you arrive at the Cathedral of San Salvador whose museum contains the Velázquez painting. Skirting the hill you will find two of the best and most typical churches of Orihuela, those of Santas Justa and Rufina (of gothic style with gargoyles and a tower) and Santiago (St James'). The latter contains the status of the Sacred Family by Salzillo and is the place where the Catholic Monarchs convened a general parliament (Cortes) in 1488 for the purpose of gathering funds to finance a military sortie that would culminate in the seizing of Granada in 1492. This is the origin of the shield on the magnificent gothic portal. In the old town centre you can see the recently restored Circo Theatre, the most beautiful and original theatre of the Alicante area. Holy Week is especially noted for the Burial Procession - held on the Saturday before Easter Sunday - which in Orihuela includes two exclusive events: the procession is normally presided over by an inhabitant of Orihuela who has received the immemorial right in a papal bull to remain with a covered head inside the Cathedral; and one of the floats that encircles the Cathedral is in the image of a devil in female form, popularly known as the 'Diablesa' (She-Devil), which represents the triumph of the cross over the world, the devil and the flesh. The town's extensive district stretches to the Mediterranean where there are magnificent sandy beaches with a range of services located between the Punta Prima and the Punta del Cuervo, including the Flamenca, La Zenia and Dehesa de Campoamor beaches. Tanot la Dehesa de Campoamor and Cabo Roig are two marinas suitable for leisure pursuits. |
