Guardamar

General

Guardamar del Segura is located 25 km south of Alicante International Airport and only 15 km to the north of Torrevieja. A traditional old Spanish fishing village, much admired for the preservation of its beautiful surroundings and landscape with an ecosystem that has attracted many species of wildlife. With an all-year mild temperature and very little rainfall, its 14 km long white golden sandy beaches contrast in colorful display, enclosed by green pine, eucalyptus, cypress and palm tree forests planted on its many dunes. It has an extensive farmland orchard area through which the important River Segura runs, before reaching the river mouth joining the sea. Due to its privileged location, temperature and surroundings it has become more popular for both holiday sunseekers as well as second home buyers.
