Relocation & immigration — Torrevieja
Costa Blanca South, Alicante province
Torrevieja is famous for its salt lakes, low cost of living and an unusually international population. It’s a popular first base for families and retirees, with a property market geared to foreign buyers.
Torrevieja has one of the highest shares of foreign residents in Spain, so local gestorías and agents are used to serving non-Spanish clients.
