La Mata is just north of Torrevieja on a narrow piece of land between the salt lakes and the Mediterranean. La Mata and Torrevieja are growing together more and more each day. La Mata has its own small number of facilities, with its own market and a 11km sandy beach that in the high peak of the summer is full of Spaniards, newcomers and those on holiday. One benefits from being so near to the town of Torrevieja. From La Mata there is a short journey to Ciudad Quesada, a beautiful place with it 18-hole golf course. It takes approximately 30 minutes to get to the airport of Alicante by the coastal road the N332.
