What to do in Playa Flamenca Spain
Playa Flamenca is part of Orihuela Costa. This popular beach resort is approximately 7.5 km from the city of Torrevieja. It is a lively destination where a large number of expatriates live. This means that many nationalities have influenced the area.
Playa Flamenca, its Flemish origins
Many construction contractors from Flanders, Belgium, came to this region in the 1980s. Many new build projects were constructed and the urbanization was given a name. Since the projects where on the beach (playa in Spanish) and the construction contractors were Flemish (flamenca in Spanish), these two Spanish words were used.
Playa Flamenca Spain is subdivided into two parts.
These days, it is a destination sought out by many. Many British and German people have a second home here, but during the past few years many Belgians, French, Scandinavians, etc. have found their personal paradise here under the Spanish sun.
