Los Balcones: Discover Nature, History and Leisure
Accommodation in Los Balcones
The protected Casa y Torre de Los Balcones complex in the Finca de Los Balcones comprises the main building, a chapel, the entrance and a pine grove. It is one of the few surviving 18th-century agricultural manor houses on the coast of the Vega Baja and, at the same time, one of the few surviving examples of an agricultural manor house that bears witness to the former dry farming around the Torrevieja Lagoon.

History
The complex therefore brings together several clearly defined historical references: its classification as an 18th-century manor house, its location on the coast of the Vega Baja and its connection with the former cultivation of the area around the Torrevieja Lagoon. For visitors who wish to consider culture and landscape together, these aspects stand alongside one another as distinct focal points.
Nature and Open Space
Parque Reina de la Sal is designed in the Los Balcones residential area as a peaceful place for walks and outdoor leisure activities. It has play areas for children. From elevated points in the park, visitors can enjoy views of the natural surroundings of the salt lagoons.
Paraje Municipal Ilo-Ilo borders the protected area of the Salinas de Torrevieja. In the Los Balcones urbanisation, it was opened as a 28,000-square-metre public recreation area; it also has an almost 700-metre-long paved walking path.
For your own planning, you can organise the options by type of activity: walking and views, play and time outdoors, sport, and historical exploration are distinct focal points. The specific length of the walking path and the size of the recreation area add a tangible sense of scale to this thematic classification.
Sport and Leisure
Club de Tenis Torrevieja in the Los Balcones urbanisation combines demanding tennis training with entertaining leisure activities. The club has outdoor padel courts with hard surfaces and glass walls.
You can distinguish between demanding training, entertaining leisure activities and a padel court with clearly specified features. This creates a distinct focus alongside the quieter paths, viewpoints and cultural impressions of Los Balcones.
Public Transport Connection
A public transport route connects Urb. Entrenaranjos, Centro de Salud Torremendo, Hospital Los Balcones, Ayuntamiento Playa Flamenca and Centro Comercial Zenia Bulevard.
You can consider the five stations mentioned as different reference points alongside one another for your personal planning. The route links several specific place names that appear in the public transport connection from Los Balcones.
On the listing pages for a holiday apartment in Los Balcones, you can compare travel dates, room categories and cancellation policies. The specific accommodation details form a separate part of the decision, while the park, culture, sport and walking paths represent different aspects of the area.
