Hi,
Can anyone give me a completely honest view on Torrevieja. My parents who have lived in spain happily for 15 years started off renting in Torrevieja and were broken in too and moved away very quickky so did not have a nice experience. We are currently looking to take early retirement but our 23 year old son would come with us. I have seen affordable properties in Villa martin, Playa Flamenca and La Zenia so Torrevieja being the main city. We like hustle and bustle being able to walk along the beach, shops and out of an evening but I just wondered if Torrevieja was safe for us to walk around and our son as I read on a forum the other day her friend had had her handbag snatched as she walked back to Playa Flamenca and there was nightclubs where fights broke out a lot and Hoookers hanging around in a certain areas which put me off a little. I know many people live and love it and I would equally love to just would like a really honest opinion. Otherwise I have been thinking about Santa Pola any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks Janlan
