Weather
Torrevieja enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate all year round, with mild winters and warm summers.
During the colder months, temperatures usually range between 12°C and 18°C, while in summer they often exceed 30°C.
Its proximity to the sea helps to soften the heat, making it possible to enjoy outdoor activities at any time of year.
During the sunniest months, we recommend using sun cream, sunglasses and a hat.
