Torrevieja - The city is very popular among Russian tourists, especially those who rest on their own, without travel agencies. There are several explanations for it.
First, here is very inexpensive accommodation, both for shopping and for rent.
Secondly, there is a wonderful climate and gorgeous beaches.
Thirdly, since there are many Russians, many people who do not know foreign languages choose this place for a comfortable stay.
Since it is often a rest in Torreviej, people organize themselves, I would like to tell about how to get here and how to move in this region.
The airport
The nearest airport is Torrevieja - Al Alteta, located near the city of Alicante, 40 km from Torreviejiehi. He takes airplanes from all over Europe, including from Russia. You can get from Moscow to Alicante without transplanting you can airlines S7 and Vueling. The flight time is 5 hours, the ticket price starts from 15 thousand rubles per ticket to both ends, to the peak of the season reaching 40 thousand.An alternative to too expensive tickets can be a connection with docking. Here are the best options are airlines Airberlin, Iberia and Vueling. With this flight you will be able to save - the ticket price can begin from 12 thousand rubles. From St. Petersburg, direct flight is carried out by Vueling, you can also fly Airberlin and Iberia. Prices are approximately the same as from Moscow. You can also take advantage of direct departures from Helsinki.
Railway communication
In principle, the flights to Madrid or Valencia are possible, but in this case you will have to get around 3-4 hours by Torrevieja by train or bus.
In Torreviene, there is no train station, so all trains come to Alicante. Unfortunately, there is a sufficiently inconvenience associated with the fact that the railway station in Alicante is far from the bus station, so you need to either go 15-20 minutes on foot, or use a taxi service. If you still plan a trip to the train, then you can buy tickets on the site http://www.renfe.com
Tickets are better to buy in advance, then you can buy them through the most profitable rates. The approximate cost of the Madrid Alicante ticket is 38-60 euros.
Therefore, in my opinion, still the most convenient transport remains a plane.
Buses
From the airport Alicante to the bus station in Torreviej, there are buses every 2 hours. The detailed schedule can be found on the site http://www.costazul.net
This company is engaged in transportation between the cities of the province. From Torrevierehi you can reach Guardamar, Santa Floors, Alicante, Murcia, Oriulela, Cartagena. Several routes are walking through Orihuela Costa - the southern suburb of Torrevieja. Before planning your trip, be sure to look at the schedule, as the buses rarely go.
In the city can also be moved by public transport. Usually the bus goes once every 40-50 minutes. There are 7 bus routes in the city. The price of a ticket is 1.5 euros.
Car rent
Many tourists arriving in Alicante take a car for hire at the airport, and then navigator goes to the place of recreation. It is very convenient, as you do not spend money on a taxi and immediately acquire freedom in your movements.
In addition to the main international rental companies, such as SIXT, Hertz, Avis, etc., large spanish rollers, such as Sentauro and Goldcar, have been widely spreading on the coast. As a rule, when renting machines in these companies, an additional amount on the map is not blocked when paying full insurance. The cost of renting a small car type Ford Fiesta for 2 weeks is about 500 euros with full insurance.
Be sure to specify the availability of an underground garage or parking near the place of your stay, as in the city itself to find a parking space machine can be problematic.
Taxi
Taxis in the city are quite expensive. A trip to the airport will cost from 60 euros, around the city - from 10 euros. You can order a taxi by phone, there are companies in which employees speak Russian. Phones can be found from numerous advertising newspapers and leaflets. Very often, real estate agencies that give you housing provide and transfer services.
