Here's a brief history of one of Costa Blanca's main cities. The Torrevieja Salt Flats date back to before the13thcentury and were an ancient royal possession. Until 1802 in Torrevieja there was only an old guard tower (which gives the place its place name) and some salt workers' houses. The Plaza de la Constitución But in 1803, KingCharles IV decreed the transfer of the administration of the Reales Salinas from La Mata to the location of the current center of Torrevieja, and the construction of houses was authorized.In 1829, the town was completely destroyed by an earthquake and later rebuilt. The production and trade of saltdetermined and organized life here, converted into a city in 1931 by privilege granted byAlfonso XIII. Craft production was limited in the19thcentury to the manufacture of linen, hemp and cotton for popular consumption.Although the anchorage made it difficult to load the salt, the port was completed until 1954. In the mid-19thcentury, salt extraction was mainly carried out by Swedish and Dutch ships.The national market for this product was mainly Galician and, to a lesser extent, Valencian.The importance of the foreign market for this product has been maintained during the20thcentury: a quarter of the salt produced is consumed in Spain and the rest is exported, its salt mines being the most important in Europe. Modern-day Torrevieja has street festivals almost every month, hosts international sporting events and celebrates local cuisine with Tapas Trails every few months. TORREVIEJA TOURISM SITE
