From Salt Production to Tourism Hub

Torrevieja, a coastal town located on Spain's renowned Costa Blanca, boasts a history shaped by its strategic position along the Mediterranean Sea and its proximity to vast salt lagoons. Originally a small fishing village, Torrevieja's fortunes began to change dramatically in the early 19th century when it became an official center for salt production. Known as "The Tower View," the town's name, "Torrevieja," references the watchtower that was once part of the area's coastal defenses, intended to ward off pirate attacks and other potential threats.
