Landscape

Torrealta developed around the old district of La Mola, a prominent hill offering views over the surrounding flat landscape. A section of the Rambla de los Manresas also runs through the area. Its vegetation consists mainly of esparto grass, everlasting flowers, boloaga, tamarisks and reeds.

The few remaining cultivated areas in Torrealta, with lemon and orange trees, create a Huerta landscape typical of Murcia. In the Huerta of Molina de Segura, La Torrealta is one of the more populous pedanías. The Huerta pedanías of La Ribera de Molina, La Torrealta and Llano de Molina share the waters of the Segura with Molina de Segura for growing fruit and vegetables; the water is supplied through irrigation channels.

The weekly market in La Torrealta takes place every Wednesday throughout the year. It includes stalls selling fruit, vegetables, nuts, pickled goods and other food products.

Leisure

The Campo de Béisbol de La Torrealta has been extensively renovated so that games can be played there under federation standards.
