San Miguel de Salinas is a picturesque Spanish village located between the cities of Torrevieja and Murcia, in the Costa Blanca South region. Just ten kilometers from the coastline of Orihuela Costa, this charming municipality offers unique views of both the inland areas and the nearby salt lakes of La Mata and Torrevieja. Situated on a hill 75 meters above sea level, the village provides numerous panoramic vistas and exudes an authentic Spanish atmosphere, making it a beloved destination for both tourists and residents.
San Miguel de Salinas is a lively community with year-round activities. In the village center, you'll find a variety of bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and traditional Spanish shops. The weekly market, held every Wednesday, attracts visitors from the surrounding areas. Here, you can find around 165 stalls offering a wide range of products, from fresh fruits and vegetables to household goods and artisanal items.
Although San Miguel de Salinas itself does not have a beach, the beautiful sandy beaches of Orihuela Costa are just a short drive away. This proximity to the coast, combined with the tranquil rural setting, makes the village particularly appealing for those seeking the best of both worlds.
One of the unique features of San Miguel de Salinas is the cave houses (Las Cuevas), where you can even find a delightful restaurant. Additionally, the area south of the village offers expansive views over lemon and orange groves, which emit a pleasant sweet fragrance when in bloom. To the west of the village lies the "La Pedrera" water reservoir, surrounded by the majestic mountains of "Sierra Escalona" and "La Peña".
San Miguel de Salinas is not only rich in natural beauty but also in culture and history. The local church, a prominent structure in the heart of the village, is well worth a visit. All of this makes San Miguel de Salinas a charming and diverse destination for anyone looking to experience the authentic Spanish lifestyle.
