Villa Solar

You’ll have plenty of choice when it comes to outings around here. Outdoor enthusiasts will certainly want to bring their boots and binoculars along for the hiking trails and birdwatching areas of Parque Natural el Hondo (15 minutes’ drive) – and don't forget your camera as well for the striking colours of the Pink Lake Of Torrevieja (25 minutes). Torrevieja (25 minutes) is also well known for its beaches – dog-friendly ones and watersports areas among them. There’s also the Aqua Park Ciudad Quesada (15 minutes) for a bit of fun splashing about, and La Marquesa Golf (15 minutes) for those whose holiday is not complete without putting a few balls along the way. For a dip into the area’s culture, head to the Casa Museo de Miguel Hernández (35 minutes) or spend a day in Elche (half an hour), stopping by at the paleontological museum and Basílica de Santa Maria between visits to El Palmeral and Huerto del Cura gardens. Alicante (40 minutes) is also a good option for a day trip.
