Torre de la Horadada – where Costa Blanca meets Costa Cálida

Torre de la Horadada is a charming coastal town where two beautiful Spanish regions meet: the well-known Costa Blanca and the warmer, more tranquil Costa Cálida. Although it officially belongs to the Region of Murcia, its atmosphere, lifestyle, and proximity to towns like Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja often place it within the broader Costa Blanca experience.

What makes Torre special is its balance. It offers golden beaches, a peaceful marina, seaside restaurants, and a relaxed lifestyle away from crowded tourist hubs. The town is perfect for families, retirees, and anyone seeking a second home in the sun. Its clean air, mild climate, and calm sea contribute to the wellbeing of residents and visitors alike.

The town’s name comes from a 16th-century watchtower built to defend the coast from pirate attacks. This tower still stands proudly by the sea, reminding us of the area’s rich maritime history and offering stunning views of the Mediterranean.

Many choose Torre de la Horadada not just for holidays, but to live here year-round. With international airports in Alicante and Murcia both within a 45-minute drive, and property prices still more accessible than in other parts of the coast, it’s an attractive place to invest.

For us personally, Torre is also a fantastic base for cycling trips along the beautiful coastline, combining active lifestyle with breathtaking scenery.

Torre combines history, comfort, and coastal charm. It’s a place where time slows down, and life regains balance.
