The lively town of Torrevieja is only 5km away and this also has a collection of spectacular beaches, along with a whole host of bars and restaurants. There is also a water park situated in Torrevieja.
A little closer to the complex and you have all the amenities you could ever need. Within a 5 minute walk of the apartment you will find an English convenience store, a fish & chip shop, an Irish bar and a Chinese/Asian restaurant offering an All You Can Eat buffet (7.95 Euros per Adult, 5.95 Euros per Child - prices correct Summer 2007). You will also find a hair salon located here.
Slightly further afield, approx 15 minutes by foot, or around 5-6 Euros in a taxi, you will find a Lidl supermarket and a variety of other shops, restaurants and bars. If you do decide to walk here, the pavements are well laid, with designated crossing points and a foot bridge over the main road, which also provides access to the beach.
A further 5 mins walk and you will be in the town centre. There is a Tourist Information Centre and a Town Hall here. Again, you will be spoilt for choice for somewhere to eat and drink. Every taste is catered for including many vegetarian restaurants. A lot of establishments offer take aways too if you fancy taking it back to enjoy on the terrace of the apartment.
In town you will also find a childrens play zone, banks, chemists, doctors, dentists and gift shops galore.
