Playa Flamenca
Playa Flamenca is one of several areas within the Orihuela Costa. It is a very popular destination with a large seafront plaza and a fine sandy beach, rocky coves, cliffs and great views. There are plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from all with lively atmospheres, both on the beach and in the commercial centres on the other side of the main N332 road where the Town Hall, which contains the Tourist Office, is also situated. The Saturday morning market is one of the largest and busiest in the area.
