La Siesta

La Siesta is next to a nature reserve on a strip of land between two salt lagoons just 35km south from Alicante's El Altet Airport and north of Murcia's San Javier Airport. You can expect approximately 320 days sunshine each year.

La Siesta is one of the longest established urbanisations in the area and that’s reflected in the well stocked, comprehensive range of local shops that can be found at Washington Square commercial area. The Tropicana is a favourite meeting place as is the Australian Bar – very cosmopolitan!

There are plenty of nice bars and restaurants all on flat, level walking avenues and roads. The is a very good local bus service that links with all the major towns in the area.

There is a terrific Bowls club in La Siesta and members are very proud of their achievements to date. A friendly club and great place to meet like minded people.

Another good place to socialize is the Princess Martha Louise of Norway church – a social centre in the town. For the youngsters the Flamingo Aqua Park is nearby and good fun.

A little further inland there are 2 famous lagoons, the pinky coloured Torrevieja one and the La Mata lake. These are protected nature reserves and attract all sorts of bird including the amazing flamingos. A great area for cycling, walking and riding. There are 5 excellent golf courses within easy reach and another 3 bowls clubs.

This is a super place if you are looking for a retirement location or you just want an easy to manage, compact bungalow that isn’t going to take much maintenance – there are lots to choose from and at very, very reasonable prices. All the amenities are easy to walk to and it’s a great community.
