The small coastal town of Torre de la Horadada is an unspoilt corner of Spain, situated at the southern most end of the Costa Blanca, on the border of the Costa Calida. The town has a beautiful Marina and long sandy blue flag beaches. Houses here tend to be owned by the Spanish as a main residence or weekend retreat. The area enjoys an air of tranquillity, an easy going friendly nature of the locals and their love of family life.

Torre de la Horadada is a typical small Spanish holiday town, which gets busy during July and August, although there is plenty of room on the beach. There are some English residents and visitors in the town and most of the restaurants and bars speak some English, but mainly you will be mixing with the Spanish people. Enjoy their interesting customs with regard to mealtimes and siestas.

If you are looking for wall to wall bars, restaurants, boutiques, gift shops and larger louts, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are looking for a restful holiday with good food, I’m sure you will like our home.

In the evening walk along the promenade and stop for a coffee, beer or fantastic ice cream (in many delicious flavours) and enjoy the hubbub of chattering conversation, with no loud music to disturb your peace.

If you have teenagers looking for night life during the summer months, they will need to go to the town of San Pedro, 2/3 kilometres away, where a large open air disco starts at 3am and finishes at 8am (If they are up to it.) One word of warning, in Spain stay clear of “Night Clubs” they are not the same as our night clubs, and you could end up with someone sitting on your husbands lap. Always stick to discos!!! If you are looking for more lively nightlife, the Cabo Roig strip is 10 mins away by car or taxi or carry on to Torrevieja for shops, the promenade and more bars and restaurants.

If you would prefer to have an evening in, especially if you have children, we have provided everything you need to produce a meal of your own.
