Santa Pola is an important tourist municipality on the Spanish Mediterranean sea.
The "Salinas" Natural Park, being a landscape of great interest, environmental and geologically. Besides, when all the factors come together, it can produce some spectacular sunsets. 
Beaches located to the West are ideal for children and older people owing to the calmness of their waters and little deepness. The beaches to the East are protected from the northern winds by Cabo Santa Pola and have cristal waters and fine sand.
Between the Cap and the port are the beaches "Varadero" and "Levante" with nice beach promenades.

Santa Pola lies just twenty kilometres south of Alicante and is very easily reachable either by car on the National highway N-332 or by air when landing at the Altet Airport just 8 kilometres away.

Santa Pola quickly takes you back to Roman times. It was here where the Portus Illicitanus, the Roman ruins, were found. The Roman House of the Palmeral which was built during the Low Imperial and the Roman factory for pickling and salting fish from the 4th century B. C. are also clear signs of this era.

It was a most prosperous fishing village on the Costa Blanca, but today all of this has been overtaken by tourism.
