Park of Nations

The Park of Nations, Parques de Las Naciones, is situated next to the N332.  One of the most outstanding features of the park 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 with palm trees and a large fountain. 

It also has an animal cage with iguanas and tortoises, and a children’s playground with a gigantic dinosaur slide.  There is a train ride around the park and swan shaped pedalloes on the lake for the children.                     

In May each year there is a popular medieval market and also found in the park are the Exhibition rooms which house various art exhibitions, an area for playing petanca, and a hermitage dedicated to San Emigdo, the co-patron of Torrevieja and protector from earthquakes and natural phenomena.
