fanimal Posted 18 May, 2015 Share Posted 18 May, 2015 Where are you staying? WE have had a flat out there for 15 years, Playa La Mata, best beach ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 18 May, 2015 Author Share Posted 18 May, 2015 An area called Las Dolses. So where are the best places then, Fanimal? I got the guidebook, but nothing beats local knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 19 May, 2015 Share Posted 19 May, 2015 SIW, our flat is on Playa La Mata beach, which is like Sandbanks, faces east, just to the north of the main town; Torrevieja has a nice centre with two beaches facing SW smaller cove like, depending on wind direction/strength which to choose. It has an evening market, loads of nice restaurants, tapas bars, and an area of later bars for the younger tourists/locals. To the south of the town a popular local cove beach is La Xenia, gets busy. Alot up to whether you have a family, like the beach, swimming, and/or eating out drinking etc. We rent out our flat (2 beds sleeps 4 OK) if you like it and want to go again - Flybe from Soton to Alicante, Ryanair to Murcia as well. Mind the rip off car hire companies! Cheers, Graham K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 20 May, 2015 Author Share Posted 20 May, 2015 Thanks Graham, will save this post. Looks like TripAdviser agrees with your assessment of PLM. Seems to be the sort of place we like - boardwalk by the beach, tapas bars etc. We're on the Ryanair to Murcia at the weekend. Should be good.

fanimal Posted 20 May, 2015 Share Posted 20 May, 2015 How long are you out for? We fly out to Murcia next Friday 29th, happy to meet up if you are still around/would like. Have a good trip and nice holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 28 May, 2015 Author Share Posted 28 May, 2015 Hi Graham, didnt see your last post before coming out. Looks like we fly back on the plane you come out on tomorrow. Wear your Saints top, I will look out for you, lol. Went to PLM yesterday. Love it. Talk more when you get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 30 May, 2015 Share Posted 30 May, 2015 Do the Friday market on avenida habaneras, and the Sunday morning one on the montecino road just outside the town; that way, you can grab a woodsmoked BBQ takeaway afterwards, or better yet go a few hundred yards down the montecino road to Manuel's for the best paella you will ever eat. La Mata beach is great, but its worth a walk round the bay to the Casa del jamon for their lunchtime special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
