The
two salt lakes of "Laguna de la Mata" and the "Salinas
de San Miguel" that surround Torrevieja are known to be very beneficial
for people who suffer with chest problems, arthritis, rheumatism etc.
They create a wonderful micro-climate producing the superb winter weather.
These lakes are also home to a host of wildlife including large flocks
of Flamingos.
Laguna de la Mata is now a conservation area with many paths and tracks around
the lake itself,
perfect for long walks.
The wonderful winter climate with lowest average
temperature of 17oC together with 320 days
sunshine per year, combined with the famous Mediterranean diet of fresh meat,
fish, vegetables, fruit and the odd glass of local wine go towards making a healthier
lifestyle a reality. |
