DESCRIPTION OF THE LOCAL AREA

La Zenia is in the area of Orihuela Costa, is less than a 10 minutes drive south of Torrevieja and is on the a main bus and taxi route. It has a very multi-cultural feel as many people from other countries now live in this area and actually outnumber the Spaniards! This area is a favourite for British and Irish ex-pats. Consequently, the shops, bars and restaurants in this area originate from many nationalities to provide food to suit all tastes - from the native Spanish to Italian, French, German, Chinese, Indian, Korean, Scandinavian, Argentinean, Hungarian, Mexican cuisine, etc.

Bars and restaurants underneath the complex but on the other side. Just walk across the communal area by the pool and you are there!!

200 metres to Consum supermarket, bars, restaurants, banks, etc, at the La Zenia roundabout.

Few minutes walk or 250 metres to the EU Blue Flag sandy beach at La Zenia. There are jet-ski's, a banana boat and pedalo's in the summer months, as well as the usual "bars on the beach" plus other bars and restaurants on the coast road and La Zenia Hotel. Just around the headland is Playa Flamenca beach plus more shops, restaurants and the main Post Office.

250 metres to the first class facility called Orihuela Costa Resort. Built around a small hotel it welcomes visitors not staying at the hotel to use its excellent facilities. There is magnificent pool with large sunbathing terrace and loungers, extensive lawn area, tennis courts, basket ball area and gymnasium. The pool bar serves drinks, snacks and light meals. The superb air-conditioned restaurant caters for many more people than this small hotel accommodates, and is popular with locals and visitors in self-catering. This is an all day facility and if you fancy breakfast out some mornings they bake delicious croissants on the premises.
