Dawn Shore on Jul 01, 2024:
We are thinking of moving soon to Torrevieja, and find the information contained in these pages invaluable.

As older active people ( in our 70's ) the more information we have the better.

Things that I would like to know are things like the bus service and their routes.

Thank you to all the contributors to this page.
