As part of your New Year resolutions you may have promised yourself to be more active outdoors so to ease you in here are some easy coastal walks around Playa Flamenca.

Nestled along the stunning Costa Blanca coastline, we sometimes need to remind ourselves Playa Flamenca is a hidden gem for seeking a perfect blend of natural beauty and leisurely outdoor activities. One of the best ways to immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery and tranquil atmosphere is by exploring the coastal walking paths that wind their way through this picturesque region.

Discovering Playa Flamenca's Coastal Beauty means :

Cliffside Strolls with Panoramic Views

Begin your adventure by strolling along the cliffside paths that offer panoramic views of the crystal clear Mediterranean Sea. The azure waters stretch as far as the eye can see, creating a mesmerising backdrop for your walk. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the breathtaking sunsets that paint the sky in hues of pink, orange, and gold.

Playa Flamenca Promenade

The beautiful Playa Flamenca promenade is a popular attraction, lined with charming cafes, restaurants, and shops. As you walk along the promenade, enjoy the gentle sea breeze and the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore. Take a moment to savour traditional Spanish cuisine at one of the seaside eateries, offering a perfect blend of flavours and a relaxed atmosphere.

Hanne Saladin

It is with sadness I have today to report the death of one of our residents, Hanne Saladin. Hanne, a Swiss German, has lived on the urbanisation for many years and served as president about seven years ago. She died in Torrevieja Hospital having been taken there by ambulance earlier this week. Tony Mayes

Partial reopening of street markets

I have learned that our local Saturday market is to partially re-open this coming Saturday, May 16th, but there will only be 10 stalls operating, selling food only. We also publish the list of other markets in the area which operate on different days of the week and this information would be useful to keep, to use  when we are out of lock down and we can travel more freely again.
As from this Monday, May 11th, restaurants and bars will be permitted to re-open but to serve only in outside terraces and provided they can safely operate observing the 2 metre distance rule.
I am pleased to report that our local area is one which has experienced far fewer cases and deaths from coronavirus than other parts of Spain – but only by observing the rules and keeping a safe distance from eachother can this be maintained.  It’s important for us to always remember that the virus is still present in Spain.

Debby Penny

It is with much sadness I have to give owners the news that today I have learned that Debby Penny, who lived with her father, Terry, at casa 1750, has died. Debbie was aged 54 and has two adult children both in the UK. She was also a grandmother. I want to stress that Debbie did not die as a result of the coronavirus, she had multiple health problems and was taken ill at her home earlier this week and was taken to hospital by ambulance. Because of the dreadful time we are all living through, Debbie’s family will not be able to attend any funeral, and only Terry will be able to attend – although we will make a request for him to be helped and supported by us at this sad time. Tony Mayes, immediate past president.
