First you need to define expensive. We were discussing this with friends the other day. On the rare occasions we need a taxi, then we phone radio taxis Torrevieja on 965712277, and usually by the time we descend two floors to the main entrance, the taxi is already there. As we no longer have any expenses running a car, we consider it money well spent. From here h(Naufragos) to Zenia Boulevard, for example is €11, same journey in reverse is €10. From home to central Alicante cost us €78.

However, friends who hailed a cab from the rank near the marina considered it to have been expensive. It could be that the perceived tourist is considered easy game and charged a higher rate, as happens worldwide.
