This is a completed ground-floor apartment in Playa Flamenca, a coastal locality in the municipality of Orihuela, Province of Alicante, roughly 4 kilometres south of Torrevieja. The property offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across approximately 72 m² of living space, with a private west-facing terrace, air conditioning and a parking space. The building dates from 1970 and is offered fully furnished. The nearest beaches, Cala Estaca and Cala Mosca, lie within roughly 300-400 metres. Supermarkets, pharmacies and a wide selection of bars and restaurants are reachable on foot.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an established urbanisation in Playa Flamenca, within walking distance of three sandy coves: Cala Estaca at approximately 283 metres, Cala Mosca at 393 metres and Playa Cala Cerrada at 450 metres. A supermarket is 240 metres away and a pharmacy 180 metres. The locality forms part of Orihuela's coastal strip, south of Torrevieja, in a built-up residential environment with services concentrated nearby.
The layout serves practical year-round or seasonal living: three bedrooms and two full bathrooms suit families or guests, the fitted kitchen includes a utility room, and the west-facing covered terrace with barbecue extends usable living space into the afternoon and evening. Air conditioning provides both hot and cold climate control. Fitted wardrobes and double glazing are present, and the property is sold furnished, allowing immediate occupancy.
This is not a new-build development. The building was completed in 1970 and the condition is recorded as good, with a fully fitted kitchen, double glazing and air conditioning installed. Delivery is immediate upon purchase, subject to the standard Spanish conveyancing process. Buyers considering renovation budgets should treat the 1970 construction date as a factor for technical inspection, particularly regarding wiring, plumbing and energy performance.
The property is an apartment within a communal complex, not a villa: there is no private pool, private garden or private plot. The communal pool and communal garden are shared with other residents. Parking is a designated space rather than a closed garage, based on available data. The property is resale stock from 1970, so no developer warranty, modern energy certificate rating or new-build payment structure applies. No sea view is recorded; the listed view is of the garden.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a lock-and-leave coastal base within walking distance of beaches and daily services will find the location and furniture inclusion reduce setup effort considerably. Households needing three bedrooms and two bathrooms for family visits or shared use benefit from the layout, though the 72 m² limits space per room. Buyers who prioritise ground-floor access, older purchasers or those avoiding stairs, will note the direct terrace and garden access. It also suits a buyer with a budget around €200,000 who wants the Costa Blanca South coast but finds new-build pricing in the area above reach. Conversely, it fits less well for buyers wanting a modern energy-efficient building, a private pool or plot, or panoramic sea views, none of which this property provides. Those planning substantial renovation may find the 1970 structure an opportunity, but should budget for technical survey costs. Investors considering rental use should verify licence requirements with Orihuela municipality, as tourist-let rules on the Costa Blanca are locally regulated. A car is useful for golf, hospital visits (9.7 km) and airport runs, but is not strictly necessary for daily life given the walkable services.
The recorded condition is good, with several upgraded elements documented. The kitchen is fully fitted with wooden cabinets, gas hob and oven, and includes a separate utility room. The property has both hot and cold air conditioning, double glazing and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. The bathroom shown in the imagery displays a functional finish with a shower curtain rather than a screen, suggesting finishes are serviceable but dated in places rather than recently refurbished. As a 1970 building, buyers should expect construction standards of that era: ceiling heights, insulation values and plumbing materials will differ from current regulations, and the absence of a stated energy rating means actual performance is unknown until certified. The covered terrace with barbecue is a practical addition for outdoor living, and the included parking space is a tangible asset in an area where street parking tightens in summer. The interior photography shows a furnished, habitable state with no visible signs of disrepair, though a structural and installation survey remains standard practice for property of this age. Overall, the finishing level is that of a maintained resale apartment: functional, immediately usable, and with room for selective modernisation.
The asking price is €190,000 for a completed, furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment of 72 m², which equates to roughly €2,640 per m². For context, comparable listings in the wider area include apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000 and €169,000, and a newer-phase development in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. This positions the property between budget Torrevieja stock and newer inland-coastal new-build. The price should be assessed against the 1970 construction date, the resale condition and the inclusion of furniture and a parking space. As a single resale unit, availability is immediate and there is no phased pricing.
Daily life here is organised around a compact, walkable coastal neighbourhood. The nearest beach is under five minutes' walk, and the Saturday market, Mercadona supermarket and the Flamenca Beach and Via Park commercial centres provide shopping and dining within a short stroll. Within a 2-kilometre radius the data records 38 restaurants, 28 cafés, 16 pharmacies, 18 banks and 7 schools, which indicates a residential area that functions year-round rather than a purely seasonal resort zone. The ground-floor position and garden view give the apartment a direct relationship with the communal green space, while the west orientation places the terrace in afternoon and evening sun, suited to late meals outdoors during the long warm season, though mornings on the terrace will be shaded. With 72 m², the interior is compact for a three-bedroom layout, so rooms are likely functional rather than generous. The nearby Palacio del Agua sports centre (0.6 km) and several other fitness facilities add practical recreation options beyond the beach. The area is described in source material as residential and non-commercialised, though the density of bars and restaurants within walking distance suggests an active, moderately busy neighbourhood in peak season.
The immediate environment is urban and service-dense. The nearest supermarket is 240 metres away and a pharmacy 180 metres, meaning daily essentials require no car. Beaches at 283-450 metres support a routine of morning or evening swims for roughly six months of the year, when sea temperatures exceed 20°C. The neighbourhood's restaurant and café count (66 combined within 2 km) creates an active social offering, concentrated around the Flamenca Beach and Via Park centres. The Saturday market adds a weekly rhythm for fresh produce and other goods. Healthcare is the main distance factor: the hospital is 9.7 km away, so medical appointments involve a drive or taxi. Sports facilities are close, with Palacio del Agua at 0.6 km and a municipal sports centre at 1.2 km. The area's population base within Orihuela municipality and its proximity to Torrevieja mean the neighbourhood does not close in winter, though some hospitality venues operate reduced hours off-season. An EV charging point is 409 metres away, a practical detail for electric vehicle owners given the parking space included with the property.
The map shows the apartment's position within the Playa Flamenca urbanisation: three coves within 450 metres, the commercial centres and Saturday market to the west, and the golf corridor of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor a short drive inland. Torrevieja lies directly north along the coast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Playa Flamenca occupies the southern stretch of Orihuela's Costa, between Torrevieja (4 km north) and the Orihuela beaches of La Zenia and Campoamor to the south. This places it within the densest coastal urban corridor of the southern Costa Blanca, roughly 19 km from Murcia and 50 km from Alicante. The position balances immediate beach access with proximity to the La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre and the AP-7 motorway corridor. Compared with Torrevieja's high-rise centre, Playa Flamenca is lower-density and more residential in character, while remaining part of the same service and labour catchment.
Beaches: Cala Estaca 283 m, Cala Mosca 393 m, Cala Cerrada 450 m, all walkable in under 10 minutes. Golf: three championship courses within a short drive, Villamartín at 3.3 km, Las Ramblas de Orihuela at 4.6 km and Real Club de Golf Campoamor at 4.8 km. Airports: Alicante-Elche (ALC) at approximately 40 km straight-line, realistically a 45-55 minute drive; Murcia region's Corvera airport lies south; Valencia at 161 km and Málaga at 351 km are secondary options. Towns: Torrevieja centre is roughly 4 km north, Orihuela city inland, and Murcia approximately 19 km away. Public transport: the data records 15 public transport lines and 8 stops in the area, supporting car-free living for local trips, though regional rail connections require travel inland.

The location sits at low elevation, around 23-37 metres above sea level, on essentially flat coastal terrain, relevant for buyers wanting walkable surroundings without inclines. Historical sunshine averages 3,844 hours per year, among the higher figures for mainland Spain, and the mean annual temperature is 18.9°C with a seasonal range of roughly 10-27°C. The sea remains at or above 20°C for approximately six months, defining a swimming season from late spring into autumn. Winters are mild by northern European standards, though the cold air conditioning indicates heating is used in the cooler months. Rainfall concentrates in autumn periods typical of the southern Costa Blanca. The immediate green space is the communal garden; for wider nature, the coastal path between the coves and viewpoints such as Mirador del Palmeral (1.3 km) and Cruz de la Muela (1.9 km) offer walking routes.

Playa Flamenca's coast is organised around a series of sandy coves rather than a single long beach. Cala Estaca, Cala Mosca and Cala Cerrada all lie within 450 metres of the apartment, each small enough to feel contained, with calm water suited to swimming. Source material references blue-flag beaches in the area and water sports equipment hire along the shore, plus boat trips to Tabarca island, the marine reserve off the coast, and fishing excursions. Golf is the region's strongest structured recreation asset: three international-standard courses within a 10-minute drive give regular players genuine variety. Additional family-oriented facilities mentioned in the locality include aqua parks, go-karting and tennis. For everyday exercise, the Palacio del Agua aquatic sports centre sits 600 metres from the property, with further fitness centres within 1.2 km. Horse riding and coastal walking routes round out the regional offering.

Within the southern Costa Blanca market, this Playa Flamenca apartment occupies a middle position. The direct comparables are instructive: Palangre Beach apartments in Torrevieja start at €160,000 and Sun & Center key-ready units at €169,000, both cheaper, but both in Torrevieja's denser urban fabric rather than a residential beachside urbanisation. At the upper end, Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in El Raso starts at €227,000, offering new-build construction and modern energy standards, but at an inland distance from the sea measured in kilometres rather than metres. This property's distinguishing factors are its walkability to three coves, its ground-floor terrace opening onto communal gardens, and its complete furniture package at €190,000. Its trade-offs are equally clear: 1970 construction without a stated energy rating, 72 m² across three bedrooms, and communal rather than private outdoor amenities. Buyers weighing Playa Flamenca against Torrevieja centre are effectively choosing between a lower-density residential setting and a wider but busier service environment. Against Orihuela's newer golf-side developments, the choice is between new-build specification and direct coastal proximity. The regional context supports the comparison: Orihuela municipality's coastal population, the La Zenia Boulevard retail hub nearby, and Murcia at 19 km all keep the area economically active beyond the summer season, which is a relevant consideration for year-round residents and rental buyers alike.
