3 Torrevieja City Have you been to Torrevieja? The first thing that draws your attention in Torrevieja is its setting. There are two salt lagoons, one pink and the other green, which make up the La Mata and Torrevieja Lagoons Nature Reserve. Together, they cover a total of Hectares, which represents 52% of the local terrain, and contain enormous biological wealth. They are well renown both at national and international levels. It therefore becomes clear right from the beginning that this is truly a unique tourist municipality, whose natural surroundings represent a wonderful tourist asset. Torrevieja s origins are also very interesting. It all began with the fishing activity, around the 18 th century, when fishermen and sailors began to use the Torrevieja coastline for shelter during the bad sea days. Since then, the newly established town began to welcome sailors from other regions, particularly Napolitan and Genoese emigrants. The abundance of Italian surnames, including Parodi, Zechini, Boracino, Fortepiani, etc in Torrevieja today confirm this. By the way, do you know why Torrevieja is called Torrevieja
