Cartagena is a historic port on Spain’s south-eastern coast, known for its Roman theatre and naval heritage. Its natural harbour, modernist centre and Mediterranean atmosphere give the city a practical, lived-in character.
Elche is best known for the UNESCO-listed Palmeral of Elche, whose vast palm grove gives the city an unusual oasis-like feel. Its character also reflects a mix of Arab heritage, the Mystery Play of Elche and a long shoemaking tradition.
Orihuela is known for its baroque architecture, palm-lined streets and strong connection to the poet Miguel Hernández. Its historic centre feels distinctly inland and traditional, while the wider municipality also reaches the Mediterranean coast.
Torrevieja is a lively Costa Blanca resort known for its salt lagoons, promenades and sandy beaches. Its roots in fishing and salt production still shape the city, alongside a busy modern holiday atmosphere.
