Park of Nations

It is dedicated to the nations of Europe and it has a scale reproduction of the map of the European Continent.

This lies between the road CV-90, the main 4-332 coast road, the Calle Villa de Madrid and the ring-road, covering an area of twenty-se thousand square-metres and totally fenced-in.

One of the most outstanding features inside is a lake covering six thousand square metres, with six thousand cubic metres of water unfit for drinking, making good use of the special tertiary treatment at Torrevieja's water purifying plant. In it there are geese, ducks, ganders and three thousand coloured carp. The local Mediterranean vegetation is abundant.

It also has an animal cage with iguanas and tortoises, and a children’s playground. Also found in the park are the Exhibition rooms "Los Aljibes" which house various art exhibitions which are advertised in programme of the Joaquín Chaparieta Torregrosa Municipal Cultural Institute. There is also an area for playing petanca, and a hermitage dedicated to San Emigdo, the co-patron of Torrevieja and protector from earthquakes and natural phenomena.
