La Siesta

LA SIESTA
La Siesta is an established residential area on the outskirts of Torrevieja. La Siesta has its own selection of bars, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, shops, banks and a large central Medical Centre. La Siesta is next to a nature reserve on a strip of land between the two large salt lakes just 35 kilometers south from Alicante El Altet airport and north of Murcias San Javier airport. La Siesta has a very good local bus service that links it with all the major towns in the area. La Siesta is one of the longest established urbanisations in the Torrevieja area and is reflected in the well-stocked comprehensive range of local shops that can be found at Washington Square or the commercial centre at the entry to La Siesta, where you will also find Casas Espania.

San Luis, El Chaparral and El Limonar are similar residential areas very closeby offering the same kind of facilities and amenities. There are plenty of bars and restaurants all on flat level walking roads and avenues where you can gaze at the numerous typical luxury villas with their private pools, or wander along the pretty little calles where the imaginative owners of the amigo and pepita bungalows compete to have the prettiest terraces and solariums, the largest conservatory or the highest extension added. However, this all adds to the diversity of La Siesta and its real sense of community.

In La Siesta, fiestas and special occasions are celebrated on balmy poolside terraces in the Bellavista, Helena and Olga villas, while friends gather on the balconies and solariums of the La Siesta apartments and bungalows or even take over the streets to BBQ and share a glass of wine and watch the beautiful sunset over the natural salt lakes. Neighbours sit in glazed porches or on their terraces chatting about their bargain buys at Torrevieja market as the aroma of the wood burning stove or barbecue wafts tantalisingly along the calles.

La Siesta has a very successful Bowls club and members are very proud of their achievements to date. A friendly place to meet like minded people. The central park has a very active Pentanca club, open air Tai Chi and mature gardens where you can enjoy the shade beneath the palm trees. The Princess Martha Luoise of Norway church is a busy social centre and attracts Norwegians from far and wide. For the youngsters the Flamingo Aqua Park is nearby and is good fun, as is Aquapolis in Torrevieja. La Siesta snuggles between the two famous salt lakes, the pinkish coloured Torrevieja lake and the other in La Mata. Both of the salt lakes are protected nature reserves and are a great area for cycling, horse riding and walking. La Siesta has 5 excellent golf courses within easy reach and another three bowls clubs.

La Siesta is a super place if you are looking for a retirement location, want an easy to manage compact bungalow or fabulous detached villa with minimum maintenance, there’s lots of properties in La Siesta to choose from and at very reasonable often bargain prices. In La Siesta, all the amenities are easy to walk to and it’s a great community.
