What to see in Torreblanca
When visiting Torreblanca, be sure to explore its two urban centres: the inland town and the coastal area known as Torrenostra. In the historic centre, a must-see is El Calvario and the original church, reached via a traditional zigzag path that rewards you with sweeping views over the surroundings.
Along this route you’ll find the Stations of the Cross, some dating back to the 18th century. At the top stands the former parish church, now a hermitage dedicated to Saint Francis, which was once part of the town’s fortified enclosure.
Back in the streets of Torreblanca, take time to enjoy its traditional character, with elegant Modernist façades and ceramic panels depicting religious scenes. You should also visit the San Bartolomé Church, a 17th-century building that forms an important part of the town’s heritage.
Slightly further out, the remains of an old windmill can still be seen, and on the way towards the coast it’s worth stopping to admire the silhouette of the Torre de Doña Blanca. Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, this crenellated watchtower is remarkably well preserved.
By the sea stands one of Torreblanca’s most iconic landmarks: Torre Nostra. This 17th-century defensive tower has gradually become part of the urban landscape, yet it has retained all of its historic charm.
Torreblanca’s beaches, such as Playa Norte and Torrenostra Beach, are perfect spots to unwind to the sound of the sea. You can also choose El Prat Beach, which leads to the final highlight of your visit: the Prat de Cabanes–Torreblanca Natural Park. This is one of the best-preserved wetland habitats in the region and home to unique, endemic species. Start planning your getaway to La Plana Alta today!
