From the Alto de la Casilla’s viewpoint, you can observe a white cloak
covering the highest points of the province of Alicante.

The cold wave is here, and it arrived without previous notice. In less than 24
hours, temperatures in the province have decreased between 6 and 7 degrees,
which have caused important frosts and snowfalls in different points of our
province.
The Torrevieja’s thermometers have reached in the early morning even 3 and 4
degrees. To this, we can add strong wind gusts which reached a speed of
70km/hour, what increases the cold feeling.
Furthermore, as a consequence of the strong wind, the Conselleria de
Gobernación (Government’s Department) maintains the pre-emergency situation
due to the sea storm (orange level) which is happening in the seaside of the
three provinces and which is causing waves of even 4 metres height.
