The city of Torrevieja has excellent road connections, as there are two exits from the AP-7 motorway. These are signed as “Salida 745” (Exit 745) – North Torrevieja and “Salida 758” – South Torrevieja. From either of these, there is one road that goes straight into the town. The “North Exit”, which is the furthest away, has two lanes in both directions.
The AP-7 motorway allows for a fast and comfortable drive to the cities of Alicante, Murcia and Cartagena, Madrid and Andalucia. As well as acting as a link to the rest of Europe.
On the other hand, the International Airport of “El Altet” in Alicante is only 40 kilometres away and “San Javier Airport” in Murcia, is a mere 30 kilometres from Torrevieja. All of which mean that in less than half-an-hour one can make his or her way by plane to anywhere around the globe.
From Alicante and Murcia there is a comprehensive train (RENFE) service that links to the rest of Spain. Furthermore, this summer 2006, the company “Acciona Transmediterranea” is planning to put into operation a “Fast Ferry” that will link Alicante with the Island of Ibiza in just under an hour. Also from the port of Alicante, there is a regular ferry service that links the city with the port of Oran in Algeria.
