Torreblanca

A traditionally agricultural community, which in recent years has experienced a notable boom in tourism, particularly around the area of Torrenostra beach.
This beach has, up until now, a family atmosphere about it, which visitors can enjoy, and there are hotels and apartments right beside.

Torreblanca, along with neighbouring Ribera de Cabanes, enjoys a unique setting. This is known as El Prado (or El Prat as it is known locally) is crisscrossed by channels and irrigation ditches which link up the different lakes and lagoons.

This entire area also serves as a resting place for several species of migratory birds, as well as the breeding ground for waterfowl.

Torre La Sal beach, a little further south from Torrenostra, belongs to the township of Cabanes, which itself stretches from the mountains as far as the sea. Apart from a few well-equipped campsites, this beach is unspoilt and has so far managed to avoid being developed.

The waters of this section of the coastline are reputed to be the cleanest of them all, and, as a result, this area was chosen as the ideal location for a Marina Biology Research Centre, itself under the jurisdiction of the Department of Scientific Research and the Provincial Government. This centre is concerned with the breeding and fattening of such species as king prawns, sole and bass.
